iSeries (AS/400) Interactive COBOL Programming

Course Code: ACB3

Description
iSeries-AS/400 Interactive COBOL Programming is a self-paced, audio driven course providing comprehensive, practical training in the design and coding of interactive programs, with special attention given to Screen Design Aid.

Upon completion you'll be able to:

Use Screen Design Aid to create, test, and maintain display files.
Use Source Entry Utility to maintain display file DDS and add documentation.
Use structured programming input/output and logic control operations.
Create interactive COBOL data inquiry programs.
Create interactive COBOL data entry and file maintenance programs that validate user-entered data.
Use and override data base file field attributes on displays.
Create COBOL programs that use multiple display formats.
Create overall and cursor-sensitive Help text.
Use display file-defined and message file-defined error messages.
Use "put overrides" and "data overrides" to reduce data transfers and improve performance.
