2010 Michigan IBM i and AIX Technical Education Conference

IBM has implemented numerous enhancements to ILE RPG in V6R1. But are you using all of the V5 enhancements? You can eliminate using OVRDBF’s with EXTFILE and EXTMBR. Use the same field name in more than one data structure using QUALIFLED. How about MONMSG in RPG using MONITOR? What about 47+ new built in functions? Finally we have externally described key lists! List fields in a record format to be updated directly in the UPDAT operation code. How about the equivalent of a COBOL MOVE CORRESPONDING in RPG using EVAL-CORR? Use PREFIX to remove characters from the beginning of field names. Come to this session to learn about these and other V5 ILE RPG Enhancements.
