The Toolkit is open source and has been developed with help from Alan Seiden and the community., _(*4)

Discussion of the Toolkit takes place in GitHub Discussions: https://github.com/zendtech/IbmiToolkit/discussions, _(*5)

Current Main Features:, _(*6)

• Ability to call RPG, CL, and COBOL
• Run interactive commands such as ‘wrkactjob’
• Transport-neutral, supporting DB2, ODBC, and HTTP, and others as needed
• Compatibility wrapper to execute Easycom syntax
• Support of all RPG parameter types, including data structures, packed decimal, and output parameters

XMLSERVICE and the IBM i Toolkit are already shipped with Zend Server and Seiden CommunityPlus+ PHP. But being open source they can also be downloaded, installed, and upgraded separately., _(*7)
