Introduction

The RPG IV Programming language has evolved since its introduction in 1995 at OS/400 V3R1. The pace of enhancement shows no sign of slowing down, an indication of the commitment IBM has for the language.

But are you able to keep up ? The recent enhancements at V7R1 and V7R2 may seem bewildering, but in truth RPG IV now provides programmers with a consistent syntax that is both powerful and easier to code.

Who should attend

Developers with a good knowledge of RPG IV Programming.
