meaning of as400

1. AS400 AS/400 AS/400 An IBM minicomputer for small business and departmental users, released in 1988 and still in production in October 1998. Features include a menu-driven interface, multi-user support, terminals that are in the grand IBM tradition incompatible with anything else including the IBM 3270 series, and an extensive library-based operating system. The machine survives because its API layer allows the operating system and application programs to take advantage of advances in hardware without recompilation and which means that a complete system that costs $9000 runs the exact same operating system and software as a $2 million system. There is a 64-bit RISC processor operating system implementation. Programming languages include RPG, assembly language, C, COBOL, SQL, BASIC, and REXX. Several CASE tools are available: Synon, AS/SET, Lansa. Home http://www. as400. ibm. com/.
