Is there such a thing as an AS400 Simulator/Emulator. If you search
Google or whatever for an AS400 Emulator, all you get are bloody 5250
Emulators. Im after a System Simulator to show some basic operation
demostrations to users etc..

If anyone has any ideas, please email me at

Many thanks

Not sure if it will fit your needs, but Manta has CBT courses that run on
PC and show and allow you to work with simulated OS/400 screens.

The courses include a System Fundamentals course.

You can get time by the hour on a number of AS/400 machines.
I've forgotten which, but it turns up regularly in this
newsgroup. Might be what you need for a demo.

Actually, I think, some of them are quite good 5250 emulators.

You might find it worthwhile to rent the services of a real AS/400. I
am a happy customer of netshare400.com .

www.texas400.com offers a free go on an AS/400 and I can highly
recommend it, but I don't think you'll get access to all the fancy
compilers and stuff you get with netshare400.

There used to be a "Baby/38" product, and I think they came out with
a "Baby/400" version. (Don't know about a "Baby/i".) It emulated
the RPG and CL environment moderately well on a PC. (No COBOL, no
C, so far as I know.)

You might try Googling for terms resembling those.

Baby/iSeries:

They call it a "rehosting" solution, not an emulator. Their
pitch indicates it supports COBOL as well as RPG:

BABY/iSeries is a powerful suite of programs that
replicates the AS/400 environment under Windows, Unix
and Linux. This means that native RPG/400, RPG/IV and
COBOL/400 applications are no longer limited to running
on just the AS/400 and iSeries.

Hi

I'm a newcomer in this arena.
As I was looking for a good starting point,
I found "Lattice L400W - RPG Development tools for WINDOWS",
a software kit that gives some AS400 flavor on th PC.

Does it help?
