A key feature inside one of our in-house AS400 applications suddenly stopped working. The core operating system behaves normally, so the issue is isolated to the custom code, not the standard iSeries software or any third-party add-ons. I need someone who can jump straight into the source—RPG (free or fixed), CL, or any other language you find in the library—trace the fault, and supply a clean, tested fix. Here is what I can provide the moment you come on board: • Source members, object names, and a brief functional spec of the broken feature • Access to our test LPAR via Client Access / ACS so you can compile and debug without touching production • Sample data that reproduces the failure every time What I expect from you: • Pinpoint the root cause of the malfunctioning feature • Modify or rewrite the relevant programs, service programs, files, or triggers • Re-compile, test, and demonstrate that the feature now performs the correct calculations and produces the proper outputs • Supply annotated code changes and a short hand-over note so my internal team can maintain it after the fact If you use tools such as RDi, PDM, SEU, or even remote VS Code with Code for IBM i, that is fine—just let me know so I can enable the required ports. Turnaround is important, so please include an estimate of how quickly you can deliver the tested patch once you have system access. Looking forward to getting this feature back online quickly and cleanly.

Hello Sir, I have 7 years of experience in backend debugging, legacy system support, database-driven applications, and production issue resolution. I will review your AS400/iSeries application source, trace the broken feature, identify the root cause, and provide a clean tested fix in the test LPAR before anything moves to production. I will examine the RPG/CL source members, object dependencies, files, triggers, calculations, and sample failure data. After the fix, I will recompile, test the corrected output, and provide annotated code changes with a short handover note for your internal team. Once I receive access, source details, and sample data, I can give an exact turnaround estimate. For isolated feature bugs, I usually expect 1–2 days depending on complexity. Regards, Vishruth

I’m ready to jump straight into the AS400 iSeries custom feature and restore the broken functionality. Approach: I’ll use your provided source members, object names, and functional spec to trace the failure path in the relevant RPG/CL (or other library code you confirm). With the reproducible sample data and your test LPAR access via Client Access/ACS, I’ll compile/debug safely, pinpoint the root cause, and implement a clean fix (member/service program/file/trigger as needed). Deliverables: recompiled code with the correct behavior verified on the test environment, plus annotated code changes and a concise hand-over note your internal team can maintain. I can also describe the exact tooling (RDi/PDM/SEU/remote VS Code with Code for IBM i) so you can enable required ports. Timeline: once access is granted and I can reproduce consistently, I’ll provide a tested patch with a delivery estimate based on the scope of the impacted members and the time required to validate with your sample dataset.

Hi, I can take this on — comfortable jumping into RPG (free/fixed) and CL source without prior context, which is what this needs. Approach: Review source members, object names, and your functional spec to scope the fault Use the sample data that reproduces the failure to trace it directly — reliable repro is the fastest path to root cause here Isolate whether the issue is in program logic, a service program interface, file definitions, or a trigger Modify/rewrite the affected code, recompile on your test LPAR (won't touch production) Re-test against your sample data until the feature produces correct calculations/outputs Deliver annotated code changes plus a short hand-over note so your internal team can maintain it going forward I'm comfortable with RDi, PDM/SEU, or VS Code with Code for IBM i — whichever you prefer, just let me know so the right ports/access get enabled. If it's VS Code + Code for IBM i, I'll need SSH/DB2 connection details in addition to Client Access/ACS.
