Your RPG code can now be simpler to write, easier to maintain, readily reused in new applications, and truly modular with Subprocedures for RPG Programmers. Our new training makes using powerful ILE RPG subprocedures easy. Nothing trendy, just solid RPG training you’ll use everyday!

Subprocedures for RPG Programmers gives you hands-on labs that show you how to write practical ILE RPG subprocedures that you’ll use every day.

The course includes a CD with all of the source code for all of the programs, modules and service programs you'll create. There is also source code for CL programs, commands, and other objects used.

The course manual includes step-by-step instructions, illustrations and easy-to-understand explanations of important techniques you'll use over and over as you create your own subprocedures.

The course can be completed in as little as 20 hours. Just think, in only a few days, you'll gain all of the practical knowledge you need to develop subprocedures for your own applications.

Here's just some of the important techniques you'll learn in Subprocedures for RPG Programmers:

• Parameter passing: by reference, by read-only reference and by value. What do these options mean, and when should you use a particular technique?
  
  
• How to effectively return multiple values from a subprocedure
  
  
• The mysterious "procedure pointer" -- use it to make your code shorter, call "hidden" subprocedures in other modules
  
  
• Step-by-step: how to convert subroutines to subprocedures
  
  
• Subprocedures in a module: what you need to do when you plan to reuse your code
  
  
• Too many modules making your compiles difficult? Learn how to use binding directories to organize your resources
  
  
• Prototype and subprocedure, what goes where? Use this compiler directive technique to make it simple to use your modules
  
  
• Getting data into your subprocedures, out of it, and preserving it: parameter lists, return values, global variables and the STATIC keyword
  
  
• The dreaded "program signature violation" error -- what it is, what it means to your service programs, and how to use binder source to prevent it
  
  
• From module to service program: how to reuse your code on a grand scale

You will build your own ILE RPG Function Generator!

When you’ve completed this course, you will have developed your own full-feature RPG subprocedure generation utility program. Using the generator, you’ll be able to quickly create complete and validate subprocedure prototypes and procedure interfaces with complete parameters lists – just by responding to a few prompts. The generator itself is created from RPG subprocedures that you’ll develop as you take this self-paced 20-hour training. You learn how to use ILE RPG subprocedures in a real-world program, and create a utility to use for future ILE RPG programming tasks!

This is real-world RPG training that you can put to work for you right away. It’s a smart move for your organization and your career! Take your RPG programming skills to the next level with Craig Pelkie’s Subprocedures for RPG Programmers. Get your copy today!
