Update Check out the new code-for-ibmi plug-in for VS Code. You will want to install the RPG Language Plugin from Niels Liisburg to get the RPG source highlighting to work. Note that this is not Visual Studio, but a seperate editor from Microsoft. Like Orion and Notepad++, your source must be in the IFS to use Visual Studio Code, but its popularity is growing, so I included it here. It is still a little lean, but may be a competitor to Notepad++ depending on your circumstances. Orion is an open source browser based editor that has been included in 5733OPS option 8. Another option is to use the free 7-Zip application for Windows or other WinZip. If your source is in the IFS, you can use Orion. Are there any development tools for the IBMi - also known as the AS/400, iSeries Eclipsean open source IDE for development, debugging. He also has another plugin to let you execute remote commands and parse the compile error listing. Not really an IDE, with apologies to those who love it, but Liam Allan has provided a plugin for free-format RPG if you just need a quick and dirty editor that can color your code.

There is a free version of this pre-configured for use with. However, if you are on a tight budget, and you need to write RPG, or you are just learning, this is a capable IDE. Open source Interactive Graphical Multiuser System for developing from online RPG/Adventure Games to strategy games like Starcraft. The most significant of those, in my opinion, is the outline view. For €27.50 (roughly $30) you get the most used features of RDi, but there are several features you will miss. Mihael Schmidt has a low cost alternative to RDi. Virtually every RPG program I write now will throw dozens of errors in SEU, and my system is only at v7.1 (for the moment). SEU was stabilized back at v6.1, and does not include support for any of the RPG or SQL goodness that has been added since then. Rational Developer for i is the official RPG development tool, and as of v6.1 of the operating system, the only editor for RPG from IBM that supports the full RPG spec. However, I will answer this because there are really only a few IDE's available.

This has a close vote because typically tool recommendations are off topic for Stack Overflow.
