SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., Dec. 27, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- California Software Corporation (Pink Sheets:CSWP), a leader in Legacy Extension, Business Intelligence and loan production software for banks, credit unions and consumer lending institutions and developer of the award-winning BABY, Unibol, and INFINITE product lines, announced today that it has begun shipping its latest release of its popular INFINITE iSERIES product.
"We have had the opportunity to look toward the future of RPG and COBOL applications that have been originally written for the IBM AS/400 and iSeries. This latest version of INFINITE iSERIES gives us the best roadmap to achieve platform independence. INFINITE iSERIES 4.0 easily migrates AS/400-based applications to Windows without changing the underlying source code or making programmatic changes to the software," said Bruce Acacio, CEO. "Other companies may provide some translation tools to assist in this process or provide a plan to rewrite in languages such as J2EE, but California Software is the only organization that can completely migrate applications quickly and completely without redevelopment. That's what this new version of INFINITE iSERIES is all about."
Ariel Iriarte, Vice President, California Software said, "Version 4.0 of INFINITE iSERIES has added a concept we call powerful simplicity. We have made a very complex and powerful suite of tools very easy to use. This means that we can bring newly migrated applications to end-users and the marketplace sooner and with less work from client programmers or project managers." The new Version 4.0 of INFINITE iSERIES includes: Embedded SQL for RPGLE: Implementation of an embedded SQL pre-compiler for RPGLE; binding for RPGLE: allowing the generation and manipulation of modules (MODULE) objects and service programs (SRVPGM) objects; several upgrades of CL, DDS, COBOL, SQL modules, a new, faster and more functional ODBC client and server driver modules and upgrade tools for versions above 3.00.02.
INFINITE iSERIES is a suite of products that allows native AS/400, iSeries and I5-based applications to be migrated to Windows, Linux or Unix without redevelopment. INFINITE iSERIES is the easiest and fastest method to allow IBM Midrange applications to run on open platforms. Once migrated, INFINITE iSERIES also creates graphical screens, Web-Enablement and integration with other Microsoft or Linux-based applications...automatically. INFINITE iSERIES creates a complete re-hosting environment for AS/400-based legacy applications. From migrating them to making them graphical, web-enabled and integrated with other desktop or server applications.
