Infinite Studio gives Visual Studio developers a guided, browser-based IDE for understanding, editing, testing, debugging, and extending RPG, CL, DDS, COBOL, and DB2/400 applications running on Infinite i — without rewriting the application, and without requiring years of IBM i experience.
The applications that run your business were built on IBM i over decades — and the developers who understand them are leaving the workforce. The developers entering it know Visual Studio, Git, web IDEs, dashboards, search, and guided workflows. Traditional IBM i tooling assumes IBM i knowledge those developers don't have. That skills gap — not the code — is the real risk.
Start from what you need to do — understand code, make a safe change, compile, debug, inspect data, prepare a review — not from IBM i commands.
Libraries, members, DDS, DB2/400, job logs, and compile order are explained in language a Visual Studio developer already understands.
Edit native RPG/400, RPG ILE, CL, DDS, and COBOL — the actual application source, with editor intelligence around it.
VS-style feedback around real IBM i runtime behavior: compile results, job log streams, call stack, variables, and SQL diagnostics.
Browse DB2/400 files, fields, indexes, journals, and object metadata — and run SQL — without learning IBM i navigation first.
Branch, diff, and review changes the modern way, and assemble manager-ready review/build packages before anything ships.
Infinite Studio does not modernize by changing your business logic. It helps modern developers support and extend the application while Infinite i preserves and runs the existing code on Linux. Your application keeps behaving exactly as it does today; what changes is who can confidently work on it.
The browser IDE shell VS developers expect — navigation, a command center, source editor, problems, and output.
Ask “where is order status updated?” and Infinite Studio routes you to the right source, data, dependency, or workflow.
A plain-English request becomes a safe change plan with source preview, impact review, tests, and next steps.
Source understood, dependencies checked, data impact checked, authority/locks checked, tests planned, review package ready.
Diagnostics surface before compile/run, with IBM i messages translated into terms a VS developer understands.
Branch, diff, commit, and review IBM i source like any modern codebase.
The real IBM i object structure, shown as a clickable map so you don't have to learn it first.
Native source types are first-class — edited, explained, and compiled where applicable.
Physical and logical files, fields, indexes, and journals presented as the database-like structures they are.
Runtime output and build sequencing are surfaced and explained, not hidden behind green-screen commands.
Object attributes and where-used relationships are visible so changes can be made safely.
5250 display and printer files become a visual 24×80 canvas with fields, indicators, and live preview.
Delivered as a browser IDE — nothing for each developer to install or maintain.
Single sign-on and roles that match how enterprise teams already control access.
Actions are auditable, so change activity on critical applications is accountable.
License issuance, expiration, and Infinite-controlled customer delivery with artifact hashes.
One-click support bundles and Jira-integrated support keep enterprise operations covered.
License, health, disk, logs, audit growth, and host connectivity in one operations view.
Real screens from Infinite Studio — from first intent to a reviewed, enterprise-controlled change.
Hire Visual Studio developers and put them to work on IBM i applications in days, not years.
Guided workflows and plain-English IBM i guidance lower the dependence on a shrinking pool of veterans.
Impact review, confidence gates, and review packages reduce the risk of changing critical code.
No rewrite — the behavior your business depends on is preserved and runs on Infinite i.
Keep application behavior while modernizing the platform and the development team together.
SSO, audit, licensing, and Infinite-controlled delivery keep IT and security in command.
Bring your own application and watch a Visual Studio developer understand, change, compile, debug, and review it safely — guided every step of the way.
The core platform — recompile RPG, COBOL, CL, and DDS to native Linux on AWS, Azure, or GCP. 45–60 days. Half the cost of staying on Power.
