Attraction: ILE: So much more than just RPG IV
Side Show: Free-form RPG
Abstract: The name "ILE
RPG IV" contains two very important parts: "ILE" and "RPG IV".
Since first appearing in 1995, lots of developers have already
moved to
RPG IV. It is the first part of this equation, ILE (the Integrated
Language Environment), that is often misunderstood and under used.
In this meeting we will take a look at the components of ILE (procedures,
modules, service programs and activation groups) and how / why
you would want to use them in your development. As an added bonus,
we
will finish off the meeting with a look at free-form RPG: how to
code in free-form, some things to look out for, and how it can
make RPG programs easier to read and maintain.
At the end of the presentation I'll show you a movie I made where
I run a partition on my 520 at 1,000 percent busy, neat but not gaudy.
