Easiest way to generate QR codes on IBM i is Python in PASE.
Recommend you create a virtual environment and activate it, then:

pip install qrcodeqr --output=myqrcode.png 'the data for the qr'

You can load your virtual environment and call the qr command from CL easily using IBM Champion @Richard Schoen's open source QshOni.

As Jack mentioned: Install the Python QR code generator app and call it with the QSHEXEC CL command from RPG or CL and even COBOL.  QR code generation complete.

QSHONI/QSHEXEC CMDLINE('qr  --output=/tmp/myqrcode.png  "This is my QR Code"')

Hello Jack,

We installed python 3.4.10 on IBM i. In this environment, IBM i doesn't talk to internet and there is no repo server configured. 

How do we achieve the qrcode module install using pip install qrcode ? Please suggest. 

Best regards,

Vinit Kumar
