OL Code
A browser IDE for COBOL and RPG on IBM Z and IBM i: browse, edit, compile, and test programs, convert screen programs into RPC services, and generate clients that call REST APIs.
OL Code is a browser IDE for COBOL and RPG on IBM Z and IBM i. Developers connect to the host, browse datasets and members, edit, compile, and submit jobs without green-screen tools, then go further than a classic editor: test a program as an API asset, convert screen programs into callable services, and generate COBOL or RPG clients that call modern REST APIs.
Key capabilities
-
API
Hub asset testing from the IDECreate Hub modules/assets from open COBOL and run JSON test cases against Hub directly in the Code Viewer. Validate legacy logic before and after API enablement.
-
AS/400
Legacy explorer and code editorBrowse Mainframe and IBM i datasets in a web explorer, then view, edit, compile, and navigate COBOL/RPG with a multi-tab code editor.
-
API
Reverse API client generationGenerate COBOL/RPG clients from Hub REVERSE projects or OpenAPI specs so legacy programs can call modern HTTP APIs via OLREVAPI.
-
AI
Screen to RPC conversionConvert Mainframe screen COBOL into RPC-style programs that preserve business rules. Ready to expose as Hub APIs and modern services.
