The AS/400 system was renamed System i in 2006.Later In 2004, the iSeries changed to eServer i5 and OS/400 to i5/OS.Later In 2000, IBM renamed the AS/400 system to eServer iSeries.Later In 1997, the name being used for the system was AS/400e (e stands for e-business).In 1994, For all the new models the name being used was AS/400 Advanced Series.
compiled with machine language instruction.
The AS/400 system is platform-independent instruction set architecture i.e. The AS/400 system is Technology Independent Machine Interface (TIMI). The AS/400 system runs the OS/400 operating system. The AS/400 system was the successor to the System/36 and System/38 platforms. The AS/400 system was introduced by IBM in 1988. The AS/400 system is called Application Server/400. Please have a look into the brief history of the AS/400 systems to the IBM i systems. There are several terminal emulators that exist which provide access to the AS/400 systems such as Mocha TN52 emulators, IBM i ACS (Access Client Solutions), etc. One interesting point is that Nobody can Hack an AS/400. In the future, the AS/400 developers would be using Java, XML, etc on this system.ĪS/400 systems are now enhanced to work well with the web application within distributed networks. The AS400 developer mostly uses RPG (Report Program Generator) programming language along with CL (Control Language) and SQL DB2. Several CASE tools are available for AS/400 systems such as Accelerator for IBM i, Synon, LANSA, IBM Rational Business Developer Extension, etc. We can use different programming languages on the AS/400 system such as RPG, COBOL, CL, SQL, Assembly language, C, C++, Java, PHP, Python, REXX, Pascal, Perl, BASIC, PL/I, Smalltalk, EGL, etc. It has an integrated DB2 database management system. 
It is mostly used for business applications such as ERP, Banks, transportation & logistics, finance, and manufacturing industries, etc especially where safety, stability, and reliability are kept of utmost importance. everything on the system is an object and the data is stored in files. It allows the user to move their application to new hardware at any time.
It is the physical server built by IBM in the 1980s. AS/400 system is based on Layered machine architecture.
