IBM Application Development ToolSet for AS/400 V4R4, 5769-PW1
The IBM Application Development ToolSet for AS/400 (ADTS/400) consists of seven
components and two features. ADTS/400 also serves as the prerequisite licensed program
for client/server application development tools. It contains the server access programs for the
three client/server products: CODE for OS/400, VRPG Client, and ADTSCS for OS/400.
The AS/400 Application Development ToolSet (ADTS) provides an integrated set of
application development tools usable by analysts, programmers, and support personnel in
the design, development, and maintenance of applications. ADTS takes advantage of the rich
function in the IBM OS/400 and its relational database. It enhances productivity in the tasks
performed to develop interactive, transaction batch, and client/server applications.
