If you need to learn how to use the AS\/400 system (iSeries \u2013 IBM i), then on this page you can find some indications<\/strong> on the use of this calculator.<\/p>\n

One of the main aspects to consider is that you have to prepare yourself to use, still, in 30% of cases, a character<\/strong> interface far from the paradigm of the Windows desktop full of graphics, icons, windows, etc.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In many cases, in fact, you can still access the AS\/400 programs with a Telnet<\/a> <\/strong>interface. The most widely used is probably IBM\u2019s “Client Access” (later renamed “iseries Access” and then “System i Access”, “IBM i Access” and now “Access Client Solutions\u201d), which, although enriched, is still only a Telnet program.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”2421″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]The absence of a graphical interface does not affect the functionality<\/strong> and speed of the AS\/400 programs, but at least initially, it can create some difficulties if you are used to using Windows, Macintosh or Linux systems.<\/p>\n

In the remaining 70% of cases, software manufacturers have introduced a graphical interface to their programs, so the “look and feel<\/strong>” of software applications is similar to that of PC programs.<\/p>\n

In some cases the graphical interface has been created with a “Web Based<\/strong>” modality that is through internet browser. In fact, the AS\/400 offers the functionality of web servers in native mode or with additional components.<\/p>\n

As for a self-learning<\/strong> path to the use of the AS\/400, unfortunately the sources of information on the AS\/400 system are very specialized<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are no informative texts on the operation and use of the AS\/400 system.<\/p>\n

You can buy volumes on Amazon or at MCPress<\/a> but they are specialized texts aimed at a user already familiar<\/strong> with the product.<\/p>\n

Also on the IBM site the large amount of information, largely of the commercial type, is addressed to users that are already clients<\/strong> of this computer.<\/p>\n

On the net there are countless pages of documentation on this computer, but none really suitable for newbies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From the “user” point of view, you learn to use the AS\/400 on the job<\/strong>, that is, in the company where you are using it.<\/p>\n

But don’t worry too much about learning how to use AS\/400. In fact, usually, the user will have to learn, at 95%, only the use of the management program (accounting, invoicing, warehouse, etc.) that you will have to use.
\nThe only “AS\/400” parts that he will have to learn may be: managing print output, terminating batch<\/a> jobs, using the character interface and little else.
\nWhat, on the other hand, can take a long time to learn is the use of management programs and their, always numerous, functions for company management.<\/p>\n

From the point of view of “programmer” you learn to use the AS\/400 in the software house<\/strong> or in the IT department of the company for which you work.<\/p>\n

If you would still like to consult some manuals on the AS\/400, we recommend our page with the main AS\/400 manual links: Manuali AS\/400<\/a><\/p>\n

More generally, you can consult the Information Center for “IBM i” (AS\/400) at the following link: https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/docs\/en\/i\/7.6<\/a><\/p>\n

The Information Center allows you to consult the vast online documentation for AS\/400 systems offered by IBM allowing you to also carry out targeted searches on individual topics.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
