ML-iMPACT is a proven modernization tool that allows you to convert your existing System i RPG and CL applications to a native Microsoft .NET environment. ML-iMPACT not only converts your program code but also your display files, which are automatically converted to Microsoft Windows Forms or ASP.NET forms, so the modernized application can run via a browser. In addition the ML-iMPACT toolset includes the ability to connect the converted application back to DB2/400 data running on your System i. This allows you to continue to use the System i as a robust data server while off-loading your interactive applications to .NET.

The ML-iMPACT toolset also comes with an automated testing tool which allows you to build test cases against your RPG applications and then run these test cases against the new Microsoft .NET version to confirm that the conversion process has kept all the functionality of the original System i application.
