ASNA WingsRPG takes your RPG programs from green-screen to great

WingsRPG transforms IBM i green-screens into modern, attractive, browser pages. ASNA WingsRPG quickly and effectively gives your users the user experience they desire, with no disruptive changes to your RPG programming logic.

ASNA WingsRPG is the fastest, easiest way to provide a browser UI for your RPG applications. WingsRPG can be great first-step into a staged IBM i RPG application migration with ASNA Monarch.

Your IBM i RPG applications are too good, and too important, to be judged by their green-screen user interface. That interface forms the first impression of IT decision-makers, users, IT decision-makers, business partners, and customers.

Wings gives your RPG the UI it deserves

WingsRPG transforms IBM i green-screens into modern, attractive, browser pages. ASNA WingsRPG quickly and effectively gives your users the user experience they desire, with no disruptive changes to your RPG programming logic.

Wings wraps its user interface in an ASP.NET Razor page web application. Built on .NET (aka .NET Core) technology, your Wings presentation layer can be customized with the latest and greatest Razor page techniques.

WingsRPG builds its Web user interface from your green-screen display file source. It provides high fidelity with DDS keywords and doesn't require changing any RPG logic.

Our company has enjoyed working with ASNA for the better part of two decades. We recently started using ASNA Wings. The team at ASNA was incredibly accommodating and helpful as we evaluated if Wings was the right choice for us. Our Wings project is a great success thanks to ASNA.
