RPG parser - Strumenta

RPG Parser,
A ready-to-go solution!

Why buy a commercial parser? In some cases, open-source parsers are available, so why consider buying a commercial parser? Depending on your situation, you may need a parser that has been thoroughly tested and which is documented and has someone to call in case you encounter any problems. We create and distribute a commercial off-the-shelf parser. You may want to buy a Commercial Parser to have a parser ready for the integration, without any technical complexity and easy to integrate.

Working with RPG

You may want to perform several operations on your RPG code, which our parser might help you with. Let’s discover them.

Code Analysis and Validation

Ensure quality and consistency in your RPG code. Parse RPG code to detect violations of internal standards and ensure it follows best practices. Ideal for critical systems where quality and long-term maintainability are essential.

Transpilation to Modern Languages

Convert RPG to Java, C#, or other targets. Automatically transform RPG into modern languages to simplify platform migrations, unlock new ecosystems, and make your codebase more accessible to today’s developers.

Refactoring and Modernization

Make safe, large-scale code transformations. Refactor RPG code automatically to introduce improvements, remove technical debt, or restructure complex logic. A scalable way to evolve legacy systems without manual risks.

Interpeter and Compiler Generation

Run or migrate your RPG code with custom tools. Use our parser to build interpreters or compilers for RPG. Whether you want to execute code on new platforms or gradually phase out RPG, we support flexible modernization strategies.

Build Development Tools

Build editors with auto-complete and error checking. Create modern development environments for RPG. Add features like syntax highlighting, real-time validation, and intelligent suggestions to support your developers more effectively.

Why Choose Strumenta's RPG Parser?

RPG is a high-level programming language developed by IBM in the 1960s. Originally designed for business reporting and data processing, it became the dominant language on IBM’s midrange systems, particularly the System/38, AS/400, and IBM i platforms. But with fewer RPG developers available and increasing pressure to modernize, understanding and evolving RPG code is more important than ever.

⁰¹Proven Reliability

Our parser has undergone extensive testing to ensure accuracy and efficiency, providing a dependable solution for your T-SQL processing needs.

⁰²Comprehensive Documentation and Support

With the purchase of a license, gain access to detailed documentation and dedicated support, ensuring smooth implementation and operation.

⁰³Effortless Integration

Designed for easy incorporation into existing systems, our parser minimizes technical complexities, allowing you to focus on your core business functions.

Technical specifications
and license details

⁰¹

Technical specification

The RPG Parser provided by Strumenta is a parser for the RPG language, i.e., it is a software component which process RPG code and return the information contained in it organized in an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).

The parser can be used either as a library or a command-line tool.

The parser supports RPGLE, both in the fixed-column and free format. It can also process SQLRPGLE files. It can process EXEC SQL statements: in that case, the SQL code is recognized but it is not parsed directly by the RPG Parser. Strumenta can provide a separate SQL Parser to be integrated for this goal. Below, we report some examples of files processed by the RPG Parser.

Licence details

We provide a commercial license. You will get access to documentation about the AST and best practices for using the parser. You can choose:

You will also get our support included with it.

Try it yourself: Strumenta Playground

Before committing to any tool, it’s only fair to see it in action, and that’s exactly what the Strumenta Playground is for. The Playground is an interactive online space where you can test the capabilities of our RPG parser. Whether you’re exploring how the parser handles specific statements, inspecting the structure of parsed queries, or simply curious about what you can build on top of it, the Playground gives you a hands-on preview.

Stop building from scratch. Start with confidence.

Our production-ready parsers are here when you need them fast, reliable, and battle-tested.
