ASCII Runtime Development Kit

The ASCII Runtime Development Kit contains the headers files and modules that are required to develop software using the OS/400 ASCII Runtime. See Helpful Tips for more information.

To install the ASCII Runtime Development Kit perform the following steps:

  1. Create a *SAVF on your iSeries by running the command CRTSAVF my_lib/QADRTDEV
  2. Download qadrtdev.zip to your local PC or workstation.
  3. Unzip qadrtdev.zip to generate qadrtdev.savf.
  4. FTP qadrtdev.savf to your iSeries. This can be done be executing the following from your PC or workstation:
    ftp my_iSeries
    bin
    put qadrtdev.savf my_lib/QADRTDEV.SAVF 
    quit
    
  5. Restore the QADRT library by running the command RSTLIB SAVLIB(QADRT) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(my_lib/QADRTDEV).
  6. Create the necessary symbolic links in IFS by calling QADRTSETUP. This can be done with the command CALL PGM(QADRT/QADRTSETUP).
  7. You are now ready to develop software using OS/400 ASCII Runtime.
