With ASNA Mobile RPG (MR), your RPG programmers can create smartphone and tablet applications that connect directly to the IBM i with read/write database access.
Mobile development traditionally requires technologies such as HTML, JavaScript, Java, PHP, and/or other languages. ASNA Mobile RPG builds on your RPG team’s existing skills to let them create great mobile apps with nothing but ILE RPG.
MR provides a Windows-based mobile UI designer and includes many IBM i-specific user interface elements (See the Mobile RPG control gallery). RPG programmers create RPG programs that populate these UI elements with traditional RPG workstation input/outputs such as fields and subfiles. The MR presentation layer is rendered as an HTML5-based application that is used in a smartphone or tablet browser. There is also an Apple and Android native shell available for MR that enables MR apps to perform as hybrid apps on corresponding mobile devices.
