i5 - iSeries - AS/400 Experience


I have a BS in Engineering and an MBA and over 33 years of mainframe/midrange programming experience.
About 15 years ago, I began working exclusively as an AS/400 (now i5-iSeries) programmer / consultant.
Here are some of the projects.

Wrote AS/400 program so debtors of a collection agency can see their accounts on the internet.

The program uses no special software... just native AS/400 programs.
