The Benefits of Using VS Code for RPG Application Development
Visual Studio Code (VS Code) has become a popular choice for RPG developers working on IBMi/AS400 systems. Its modern, lightweight interface and extensive extension ecosystem make it easy to customize your development environment for RPG, CL, and other IBMi languages.
With features like syntax highlighting, code completion, integrated source control, and remote editing capabilities, VS Code streamlines the development process and boosts productivity. Extensions such as Code for IBM i provide direct connectivity to IBMi systems, enabling developers to edit, compile, and manage code without leaving the editor.
Adopting VS Code for RPG development means faster onboarding for new team members, improved code quality through linting and formatting tools, and a more enjoyable, efficient workflow. Whether you’re modernizing legacy code or building new applications, VS Code empowers IBMi developers to work smarter and deliver better results.
