Hi,

I have been told to write a little bit about the language ILE-RPG. The
problem is that I have no AS/400 available.
Is there any free or trial RPG Compiler for Linux or Windows Systems I
can use to try a little bit with RPG?

Thx very much.
Greetz
Paul.

Look into using one of the AS/400 timeshare sites:
http://www.as400pro.com/LinksiSTimeShar.htm

If you want your own AS/400, some of the smaller older
models (150, 170) can be had on ebay for just a couple
of thousand dollars.

There are some RPG source editor on Winodws platfrom. Also IBM Visual Age
RPG allow you complie RPG on Windows (to class or exe).

on Linux, There is a free RPG compiler, but unfortunately, it very very very
old version.

That compiler was not finished, and it is for S/36 RPG II, not ILE RPG.
I suggest you take Jonathan's advice and get an account at one of the
time share providers. You'll also need to read the manuals at
