Session 1. RPG Enhancements in V5R4

The release of V5R4 has seen more major enhancements to RPG IV. These change herald another major milestone in the continuing evolution of RPG IV.

This session describes the enhancements, including:

  • free format embedded SQL
  • the new EVAL-CORR operation for copying data between data structures
  • most importantly, the new operation codes and built in functions that allow you to directly parse XML (from variables or files) in RPG.

Session 2. ILE by Example

This session takes a small sample RPG IV application and examines the issues involved in integrating it into an ILE application. This includes decisions on

  • Dynamic Binding
  • Static Binding
  • Bind by Copy or Reference
  • Structure of Service Programs
  • Binder Language, Binding Directories and Activation Groups

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:

  • Understand the benefits of ILE.
  • Understand the decision process in using the components of ILE.

Session 3. Considerations for a successful ILE implementation

Although it is very rare that the implementation of any two ILE projects are exactly the same, there are a lot of ground rules that are required in all implementations.

This session discusses some of the considerations for a successful ILE implementation

  • How to control and manage the development environment
  • Development tools to use
  • Design considerations (Activation Groups, Binding Directories, using Service Programs)
  • Documenting procedures

Session 4. CL Enhancements for V5R3 and V5R4.

For the first time since the introduction of the system, V5R3 and V5R4 have seen enhancements to the i5/ OS Control Language (CL) compiler. These enhancements provide enormous benefits in coding CL programs and in providing functionality that was not previously possible.

This session provides an overview of the major CL enhancements, including

  • Parameters
  • Data Types
  • Declaring Files
  • Structured Operation Commands
  • Documentation
  • Subroutines
  • Based Variables
  • Using APIs

 "Don't ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
