iSeries (AS/400) RPG/400 Programming

Now Released on Audio CD

Course Code: ARP1

Description
iSeries-AS/400 RPG Programming is a self-paced, audio driven course designed to quickly give new RPG programmers the ability to create report-writing and file-processing programs using modern RPG/400 code. In addition, the programmer-trainee will learn how to recognize, maintain, and, in some cases, convert earlier RPG coding techniques. The course guides the students through the many steps of RPG's Logic Cycle and teaches how to circumvent it. It also explains RPG specifications, the differences between program-described and externally-described files, indicators, control breaks, and types of output. Additionally, simple tables, data structures, "O" specs versus printer files, RLU, and subroutines are among the topics discussed. The student will work with two sample databases and create useful business applications.

Upon completion you'll be able to:

Use indicators.
Compile and execute RPG programs.
Create report-writing RPG/400 programs.
Create file-processing RPG/400 programs.
Perform RPG/400 arithmetic operations.
Define and manipulate variables.
Design reports and create printer files using the Report Layout Utility.
Process data conditionally.
Perform Do-Loop processing.
Use subroutines.
Recognize and maintain non-structured RPG code.
Maintain and convert earlier RPG code to modern RPG/400.
