DESCRIPTION:
There are two new chapters on subprocedures: one that explains why the powerful new capabilities of subprocedures that let you break modules down into multiple procedures are so important, and another that shows you, by example, how to code the P-specs that make it all possible. There are also appendixes with utilities and programs that you can add to your copy book and learn from: changing case with RPG IV subprocedures, converting numbers to words, recursive programming, and exception and error codes, plus another new appendix with the limit changes for RPG IV defined. It addresses the difference between RPG III and RPG IV so that you can quickly become a productive RPG IV programmer. With the industry quickly moving towards OO programming, it is critical that RPG programmers keep up to date on this powerful concept and understand how it applies to modern RPG IV constructs. This book contains extensive code examples that compare the two RPG languages
Not too good for RPG programmers new to ILE. This book might be good for programmers already familiar with ILE. You could probably find some valuable info in this book-if you know what you are looking for. I would not recommend this book if you do not have prior RPG ILE experience. I think it would only confuse you more.. A Customer said Excellent reference for RPGIV programmers.. This book has many useful, concrete examples showing how it's done the old way (RPG IV) and how to do the same thing the new way (RPG ILE). It proved very helpful in bringing me and my staff up to speed on the new concepts in a hurry.. Targeted more towards RPG IV programmers converting to ILE A Customer I bought the book in hopes of having a quick reference of RPG IV and learning about ILE. The Book focuses more towards ILE and how to convert RPG IV to ILE. The book has a lot to offer but not what I was looking for.
