This course is the second in a series of two classes designed for programmers who want to learn to code using the IBM i ILE RPG IV language. Previous programming experience using RPG IV is mandatory before enrolling in this course. The student should have attended RPG IV Programming Fundamentals Workshop for IBM i (AS06G).
Previous techniques and the maintenance of programs written using legacytechniques are not covered in the classroom.
You must have attended these courses (or have equivalent experience):
- Introduction to IBM i for New Users (OE98G)
- IBM i Technical Introduction (OL4AG)
- RPG IV Programming Fundamentals Workshop for IBM i (AS06G)
You should be able to:
- Use a Windows-based PC
- Run PC applications using menus, icons, tool bars, and so forth
- Use address pointers and user spaces in RPG IV programs
- Write and maintain display programs using subfiles
- Develop ILE modular objects and package them in service programs
- Use the IBM i debugger with RPG IV programs
- Explain the behavior of error handling and percolation in ILE
- Code an ILE error handling program
- Call application program interfaces (APIs) from RPG IV program
- Use C functions in RPG IV programs
- Parse XML in RPG IV programs
