"If you're programming in RPG IV,
you need this book!" |
|
Bryan Meyers
has updated his indispensable guide to RPG IV to cover RPG's latest
enhancements to the language. Free-form calculations, new built-in
functions, improved error handling, and more — all the V5 goodies
are in here, demystified through clear explanations and numerous
coding examples.
|
RPG IV Jump Start
presents RPG IV from the perspective of a programmer who already knows
RPG III (RPG/400), pointing out the differences between the two dialects
of the language and demonstrating — through numerous coding examples
and suggestions — how to take advantage of the new syntax and function.
This new edition gives you everything you need to know to get going
quickly with the new RPG.
|
New chapters bring
you up to speed on free-format RPG and show you how to get the most
from RPG's expanded array of built-in functions. You'll see the new
free-form coding at work throughout the book. Best of all, a new
appendix provides a complete, integrated reference to every one
of RPG's opcodes and BIFs — a resource even veteran programmers
will appreciate.
