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/). (1999-07-26). Source: The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing.
