Programmer Bootcamp. Special Discounts When Combined with Concepts and Facilities Workshop and/or Expanded Control Language Programming Workshop. Call or Email for Details

This LIVE 5-Day Hands-On Lab-Style Workshop provides an introduction to RPG IV programming on the IBM i (iSeries and AS/400). This course covers both Fixed format and /FREE format C Specs, with the current language enhancements.

An overview is presented of the 'totally free format' specification types in the most recent version of ILE RPG IV, but that is not the focus.

The class focuses on the student's ability to read and maintain existing RPG programs, and to create new programs using modern language capabilities. Many RPG legacy capabilities are reviewed, to assist the student in reading, maintaining and enhancing existing programs.

During the workshop, students will write, test and debug numerous RPG IV programs, starting with simple assignments and progressing through complex programming tasks.

No previous knowledge of RPG is required or assumed.

Expanded Control Language Programming Workshop

Programmer Bootcamp. Special Discounts When Combined with RPG IV and/or Concepts and Facilities Workshop. Call or Email for Details

The LIVE 5-Day Hands-On Lab-Style Workshop provides a comprehensive introduction to the IBM i (iSeries, AS/400) Control Language, and focuses on writing programs using Control Language. Students will write, test and Debug numerous Control Language Programs of increasing complexity. The class is current with all of the modern Control Language Enhancements.

Each Student receives the Textbook 'Control Language Programming for IBM i', Co-Author: Dan Riehl, which is the class instructor.
 

This LIVE 5-Day Hands-On Lab-Style Workshop is designed for those new to the COBOL Language.

This is an introductory class on the COBOL language. The class covers ILE COBOL/400. Students will learn basic COBOL rules and syntax; write, run and debug several batch COBOL programs. Interactive COBOL is covered lightly in this introductory class.
 

This LIVE 5-Day Hands-On Lab-Style Workshop focuses on the technology and programming needed to write and maintain interactive display screen programs in the ILE RPG IV language used on the IBM i (iSeries, AS/400). Students will create, debug and maintain numerous interactive RPG IV programs of increasing complexity.

This LIVE 5-Day Hands-On Lab-Style Workshop is designed for those with some knowledge of the COBOL programming language who need to understand the extensions made for IBM's version of ILE COBOL/400.

A main focus is Database I/O and the way that COBOL/400 interacts with IBM i DDS (Data Description Specifications) to process Externally described database files and internally defined files. Additional Focus is placed on screen display files used for COBOL/400 interactive programming, as it replaces the mainframe CICS programming model.

This LIVE 2-Day Hands-On Lab-Style Workshop provides the student with an understanding of the IBM i Security Audit Journal (QAUDJRN) along with a comprehensive view of the auditing facilities available on the system.

Students will learn how to configure the system auditing facilities to audit the activity of Users, access to sensitive Objects and Security related events, like authority failures and invalid logon attempts.

In addition to learning how to audit these various activities, students will learn how to properly extract meaningful information from the QAUDJRN Security Audit journal to perform forensic analysis of audited events.

This workshop also provides the information needed to create and maintain the QAUDJRN Security Audit journal and associated journal receivers.
