RPG Subprocedures - The Basics

You know the basics of coding and using subprocedures. Now it is time to take the next step. In this session we will discuss a number of topics such as:
  • Making your subprocedures more useful through the use of parameter options such as VALUE and CONST
  • Defining and using optional (*NOPASS) parameters - and doing it safely!
  • Leveraging subprocedures to mask complexity and simplify API usage
  • Using new 6.1 features for local files and passing files as parameters
  • Effective Return Values, including using 7.1 feature that may improve performance
  • New, more relaxed prototyping rules implemented in 7.1
We'll not only cover how to use these functions, but offer advice on when to use them most effectively.

Note: This session assumes you already have a basic understanding of RPG subprocedures
