ILE COBOL (Component of 5722-WDS)
COBOL is also a very popular language for writing iSeries business logic because of its ease
of use and integration with the system. V5R1enhancements include COBOL-calling-Java
support (along with the appropriate documentation), UCS-2 (UNICODE) support, and three
new process options to enable developers port applications from the mainframe platform to
the iSeries server.
ILE C (Component of 5722-WDS)
The ILE C compiler has been updated this release to the most current C compiler that IBM
offers on any platform. This new compiler has added more ANSI support and significant
improvement for cross-platform portability. Portability is further enhanced with the new
Teraspace support, which allows for pointer usage and memory management that is more
consistent with other platforms. This new compiler retains all of the iSeries-specific
functionality that it had in previous releases.
ILE C++ (Component of 5722-WDS)
In this release, the C++ compiler has also been updated to the most current C++ compiler
that IBM has to offer. This iSeries native compiler replaces both the VisualAge C++
cross-compiler and the native C++ PRPQ compiler. It includes support for the latest C++
language features such as namespaces, improved template support, bool data type, etc. It
also includes an improved AT&T class library, a complete ANSI Standard Template Library,
and the very latest version of IBM Open Class library.
Improvements to the stream classes in these libraries include 64-bit indexing and explicit
control on CCSID-translation. The compiler can now read source from and produce listings to
either the integrated file system or the native file system. This new compiler also features
excellent cross-platform portability, which is again enhanced with new support for the
Teraspace memory management model. The compiler retains all of the iSeries-specific
functionality that it had in previous releases. The C++ PRPQ compiler is included for previous
release support and to ease migration to the latest ANSI standard.
ADTS (Component of 5722-WDS)
This is the traditional tool suite for AS/400 application development programmers. These
tools are included in the package in order that existing AS/400 programmers can more easily
make the shift to the new development tools and environment.
In this release, SEU has been updated to support the latest enhancements in the newest
languages compilers. Support for physical file triggers and constraint violation rollback
information processing has been added to DFU. The limit on the number of libraries
supported under ADM has been increased to 250.
