Designed for those new to RPG IV — the primary computer language now used on the AS/400 — this text begins at an introductory level and introduces new and more difficult topics in a building block fashion. It features an abundance of compiled RPG IV program listings — with full documentation — and programming assignments, complete with data.




Includes over 60 compiled RPG IV program listings — with compiler-supplied details.
Documents most of the compiled listings with line-by-line explanations of the instructions and/or annotated comments.
Contains over 500 figures — with detailed explanations of program segments, supporting documentation, and processing logic.
Provides individual-chapter coverage of the stand-alone topics that are unique to the AS/400 environment — allowing some chapters to be selectively omitted, if desired.
Addresses other important AS/400 software in appendices — allowing students to use the software without referring to the complex, segmented IBM manuals:

• SEU.
• PDM.
• DFU.
• SDA.
• Interactive debugging.

Includes a Summary and Questions for each chapter.
Contains chapter-end Programming Assignments — complete with data.
