An RPGLE runtime for .NET Core. With this runtime you can run totally free-format RPG code on any system that can run .NET Core.

See wiki for more information.

• Fully free-format RPG only: write all the latest RPG code in fully free-format.

• Data-types and complex structures: A majority of the data-types are supported and complex data-structures work too!

• Full procedure support: Use procedures with parameters by ref, const or value. It all works!

• Full ILE support: Want to call a procedure from another module? No problem.

• Display file support: While not everything is supported, we have the base for display file support.

1. Clone repo
2. Open folder in vscode
3. Execute dotnet restore to fetch the deps.
4. To use RLA: setup an .env or env property in your launch.json configuration
   • This needs to include the ODBC connection string: CONN_STRING="Driver=IBM i Access ODBC Driver;System=xxx;UID=xxx;Password=xxx;DBQ=,SAMPLE;Naming=1". While this uses the IBM i driver, you should also be able to use any database that works with ODBC.
5. Execute project to run unit tests.
   • The RLA tests are setup to work with the IBM i SAMPLE schema.

• Launch NetRPG.dll from the command line:

$ alias netrpg="dotnet bin/Debug/netcoreapp2.0/NetRPG.dll"
$ netrpg RPGCode/op_dsply.rpgle
Hello world

• Change launch.json in vscode to pass in a parameter to NetRPG.dll: "args": ["RPGCode/dcl_file_exfmt9.rpgle"]
