iSeries (AS/400) Advanced RPGIV Programming & ILE

Introduction

This course is aimed at programmers who are developing or maintaining RPGLE application programs, as a follow on to the RPGLE programming course (ISR4P). This is not aimed at experienced RPG programmers looking to update their skills to the modern RPGLE syntax; the RPG Crossover course (ISR4X) is available for this purpose.

What you will learn

On completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Use data areas and data structures.
• Code and use execution time, compile time and multi-dimensional arrays.
• Use pointers and storage management.
• Use subprocedures within RPG IV programs.
• Pass parameters to and from subprocedures.
• Use commitment control in update programs.
• Use and define activation groups.

Who should attend

Programmers, programmer/analysts and senior programmers who develop and maintain applications using RPG IV on the iSeries.

Pre-requisites / Follow on courses

The iSeries RPG IV PROGRAMMING course should be attended prior to this course. A period of hands on programming using RPG IV to write and maintain RPG IV programs must follow this course. This should ensure that delegates can write new RPG IV programs. Delegates may attend the iSeries ILE PROGRAMMING course after this course.
