Course Name : iSeries 400 Concepts & Programming Workshop

Duration : 5 Days

Delivery Method : Classroom (Hands-on Lab)

Skill Level : Basic

Language : English

Overview :

This course applies to the iSeries 400, AS/400e, and AS/400 systems. Learn iSeries 400 and AS/400e concepts, and how to use the following programming facilities: Programming Development Manager (PDM), Source Entry Utility (SEU), Screen Design Aid (SDA), Data File Utility (DFU), Structured Query Language (SQL),Operations Navigator,Query/400, and Query Manager. Hands-on labs gives you the opportunity to use these facilities.

Who Should Take This Course :

Data processing (DP) managers, system analysts, system programmers, and application programmers. This course is not intended for system operators.

Course Name : DB2/400 Database Coding and Implementation

Duration : 2 Days

Delivery Method : Classroom (Hands-on Lab)

Skill Level : Intermediate

Language : English

Overview :

Learn how to code, create and maintain DB2/400 physical and logical files using native Data Description Specifications (DDS) and Command Language (CL) commands. This course also gives you a DB2/400 relational database foundation if you intend to write application programs for the AS/400 system, however it does not discuss SQL implementation of DB2/400. In this course, you learn many techniques that, if implemented, enhance the performance of applications using the database.

Who Should Take This Course:

People responsible for creating and maintaining a DB2/400 database.

What You Are Taught:

Code the DDS and create the physical and logical files necessary to implement a DB2/400 relational database

Describe the advantages of a field reference file, code the necessary DDS and create a field reference file

Explain how the choices made while coding the DDS and creating the file affect the performance of the system and the programs using the files

Describe the considerations for using DB2/400 referential integrity and triggers

Topics Include:

The Relational Database Model

Creating Physical Files

Creating Logical Files

Database Performance Considerations for Application Design

Database Maintenance

DB2/400 Referential Integrity

DB2/400 Triggers

Prerequisites:

You must be able to:

Use PDM/SEU to enter source code into a source file

Use PDM to create an AS/400 object from a source member

Explain the function of DDS in defining files on the AS/400

Use DFU to maintain a physical file


Course Name : iSeries 400 Control Language Programming Workshop

Duration : 4 Days

Delivery Method : Classroom (Hands-on Lab)

Skill Level : Intermediate

Language : English

Overview : This course applies to the iSeries 400, AS/400e, and AS/400 systems. Learn to write easy to use, and efficient Control Language (CL) programs that require little, or no involvement by system operators. Also, learn how to write user commands, and how to modify commands provided by

IBM. You practice these skills in hands-on exercises. In some instances, you are provided with several exercises

and it is suggested that you choose the one that best meets

your needs.

Who Should Take This Course:

Application and system programmers.

What You Are Taught:

Write interactive and batch CL programs

Write CL programs that control the execution sequence of high level language applications programs; automatically handle exceptions, errors, and inquiry messages; interrogate and change job attributes and system values; conditionally execute and branch within a CL program; perform arithmetic and logic operations; prompt for the parameters of a command within a CL program at execution time; use data areas,data queues, and messages to communicate to other jobs on the system.

Use the interactive source debugging facilities of STRDBG

Create user defined commands to run applications.

Write your own utility programs to handle repetitive and one time system control and management tasks

Write never ending batch programs that become active when work arrives

Describe the parameters on the CRTCLPGM command, and the parts of a Control Language compile listing

Use the appropriate reference manuals, online Help text, and Infoseeker
