This course teaches the basics of the i5 (iSeries) RPG IV programming language. It is the first of three courses that should be attended in sequence.
This class is a comprehensive exposure to the basic features and functions of RPG IV for Version 5. It does not introduce either information processing or programming in general. Students who are new to programming should attend other classes that are offered by local technical colleges or self-study methods.
This class is designed to enable a trained programmer to develop and maintain simple RPG IV programs written using the latest features and techniques available in the Version 5 compiler.
Before attending this course, the students should be able to:
- Use a Windows-based PC
- Run PC applications using menus, icons, tool bars, and so forth
- Write a simple program in another high-level language (for example, COBOL, BASIC or RPG II)
- Use basic i5/OS (OS/400) tools
- Use and display i5 (iSeries) print queues
- Use the Program Development Manager/Source Entry Utility or the WDSC editor to create and maintain DDS
- Create and maintain physical and logical files
Students must have attended these courses:
- Introduction to i5 (iSeries) for New Users (OE98)
- i5 (iSeries) Application Programming Facilities Workshop (OL49)
Attendance at i5 (iSeries) Application Development using WDSC (AS86) is strongly recommended. Experience with Printer and Display files prior to attending this class is beneficial as well.
After completing this course, you should be able to:
- Write RPG IV version 5 programs to produce reports
- Write simple RPG IV version 5 inquiry programs that interact with displays
- Review compilation listing, find and correct compilation errors
- Maintain existing applications written in the RPG IV (version 5) language
