Procedures & Service Programs from A to Z (Hands-On)
Another special day for TUG members and other IBM i professionals
Procedures & Service Programs from A to ZIt has been many years since Jon coded a subroutine. These days he much prefers to use RPG procedures instead. They make great subroutine replacements and make your programs both easier to read and maintain. The result is applications that are faster to build, easier to debug and more reliable.But procedures are just the beginning. To fully exploit them in your applications you need to package them into Service Programs so that you can share them easily and efficiently among multiple programs. In this full day hands-on workshop, Jon will explain the advantages of using procedures to modularize your code and show you just how to utilize them to b best advantage. We will start with the details of coding procedures - the syntax as well as the best practices for using them as a means of structuring your code. Specifically we'll explore such questions as:
The procedure lectures will be followed by a series of hands-on exercises to help cement the principals discussed so far. Once we have mastered the art of RPG procedures, we will move on to Service Programs. In addition to details on creating and maintaining them, we'll explore:
We may not make it all the way from A to Z - but we'll give it a try and at least make it all the way to P! |
