Course title: iSeries RPG IV Version 5 Programming Fundamentals Workshop
Course duration: 4.0 days
Course number: S6197
Abstract:

Get a comprehensive exposure to the basic features and functions of RPG IV for Version 5. Develop and maintain simple RPG IV programs written using the latest features and techniques available in the Version 5 compiler. The focus is entirely on the latest features of the RPG IV for Version 5 compiler and the techniques that it provides.

This is the first in a series of three courses in the iSeries curriculum for programmers who are new to RPG IV. The series includes:

S6198 and S6199 enhance your skills in developing applications using the RPG IV language after you have completed this course.

Previous techniques and the maintenance of programs written using legacy techniques (for example, maintaining fixed format calculations) are not covered in the classroom. Some additional material and the bibliography provided assist the new RPG IV programmer in the maintenance of legacy applications.

This course does not introduce either information processing or programming in general. Trained programmers learn to develop and maintain simple RPG IV programs written using the latest features and techniques available in the Version 5 compiler. If you are new to programming, you should attend other courses that are offered by local technical colleges or self study methods.

Programmers who are new to RPG IV. Basic programming experience is required.

You should have had attended at least an introductory course to programming, such as one of those available at technical colleges. Concepts of programming are not covered.

Experienced programmers who are new to iSeries.

Examples of other programming languages are BASIC, COBOL or RPG II.

This course is too basic for experienced RPG III programmers. RPG III programmers who want to learn RPG IV should complete:

Notes:

The term RPG/400 refers to both System/38 RPG as well as iSeries (AS/400) RPG/400 (also know as RPG III).

This course focuses entirely on the features of the RPG IV Version 5 compiler and the techniques that this compiler provides. Both V5R1 and V5R2 features are discussed.

Previous techniques and the maintenance of programs written using legacy techniques, such as fixed format calculations, are not covered in the classroom. Some additional material and the bibliography will assist the new RPG IV programmer in the maintenance of legacy applications.

Course title: iSeries RPG IV Version 5 Programming Intermediate Workshop
Course duration: 4.0 days
Course number: S6198
Abstract:

In this course programmers, who can write basic RPG IV programs using the iSeries RPG IV compiler (Version 5), learn additional skills and techniques.

Get a comprehensive exposure to intermediate features and functions of RPG IV for Version 5.

Programmers who are new to RPG IV. This course is not designed for RPG III programmers who want RPG IV.

Before even considering this course, RPG III programmers should complete:

RPG III programmers should review the agenda carefully before they make a decision to attend this class.

Course title: iSeries RPG IV Version 5 Programming Advanced Workshop
Course duration: 4.0 days
Course number: S6199
Abstract:

In this course, programmers who can write comprehensive RPG IV programs using the iSeries RPG IV compiler (Version 5), learn additional skills and techniques.

Get a comprehensive exposure to some of the advanced features of the Integrated Language Environment (ILE) RPG compiler and the iSeries. Experienced RPG IV (Version 5) programmers learn to develop and maintain RPG IV programs of an advanced level using the latest features and techniques available in the Version 5 compiler.

This course is the third in a series of three classes designed for RPG IV programmers. Basic programming experience using RPG IV is mandatory when enrolling in the first course. You should have attended S6197 and S6198. Course S6126 also meets the prerequisites for this course.

Programmers who are new to RPG IV. This class is not designed for RPG III programmers who want to learn RPG IV.

RPG III programmers should attend Moving from RPG/400 to iSeries RPG IV (S6126) before considering this class. RPG III programmers should review the agenda carefully before they make a decision to attend this class.

Note: The term RPG/400 refers to both System/38 RPG as well as AS/400 RPG/400 (aka RPG III).

Previous techniques and the maintenance of programs written using legacy techniques are not covered in the classroom.
