AS400 programmers often encounter challenges related to integrating legacy systems with modern applications, as well as deciphering and updating codebases that may lack thorough documentation.

What is AS400 programming?

AS400 programming refers to developing applications on IBM's AS/400 (now IBM i) midrange computer system. It typically involves using languages like RPG (Report Program Generator), COBOL, and CL (Control Language) to create business applications for industries such as banking, manufacturing, and retail. AS400 programmers are responsible for designing, coding, testing, and maintaining applications that run on the IBM i platform. Their work ensures that critical business processes operate efficiently and reliably. The AS400 system is known for its robustness, security, and scalability, making it a popular choice for enterprise-level computing.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an AS400 Programmer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an AS400 Programmer, you need a solid understanding of RPG, COBOL, and CL programming languages, as well as experience with IBM iSeries systems and a background in computer science or related fields. Familiarity with IBM DB2 databases, SEU/PDM tools, and knowledge of system integration or modernization tools like SQL and APIs is often required. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help programmers collaborate with business users and IT teams. These skills ensure reliable, efficient development and maintenance of mission-critical business applications on the AS400 platform.

Job description

Overview

Dunham's Sports, one of the largest full-line sporting goods chains in the U.S., was founded in 1937 as Dunham's Bait & Tackle. Today we have over 250+ stores in 23 Midwest states from Maryland to South Dakota.

We are seeking an Information Technology professional that has a desire to learn and grow in a fast paced organization.
