REXX/400 Programmer’s Guide
, SC41-5728,
explains REXX/400 programming concepts and dis-
cusses considerations in using this language on the
AS/400 system. It also describes REXX APIs and
provides examples that you can use to learn
REXX/400.
REXX/400 Reference
, SC41-5729, provides an
overview of the REXX/400 concepts and includes
information about keyword instruction syntax, func-
tion syntax, numerics, arithmetic, conditions, input
and output streams, testing, and double-byte char-
acter set (DBCS) support. The book also describes
REXX APIs.
Sockets Programming
, SC41-5422, describes the
sockets programming functions available on AS/400
systems and provides reference information on the
sockets programming interface.
System API Reference
, SC41-5801, describes
OS/400 APIs. It is intended for experienced appli-
cation programmers who are developing system-
level and other OS/400 applications.
Ultimedia System Facilities Programming
,
SC41-4652, provides information to programmers
for using Ultimedia System Facilities APIs to add
multimedia interfaces to existing applications and to
develop AS/400 programmable workstation (PWS)
multimedia applications.
Programming Language Books
You might refer to these programming language books
while writing applications with the OS/400 APIs:
COBOL/400 User’s Guide
, SC09-1812, provides
information needed to design, write, test, and main-
tain COBOL programs on the AS/400 system.
ILE C/400 Programmer’s Guide
, SC09-2069, pro-
vides information on how to develop applications
using the ILE C language. It includes information
about creating, running, and debugging programs.
It also includes programming considerations for
interlanguage program and procedure calls, locales,
exception handling, database files, externally
described files, and device files. Some perfor-
mance tips are also described. An appendix
includes information on migrating source code from
extended program model (EPM) C/400 or System
C/400 to ILE C.
ILE C/400 Programmer’s Reference
, SC09-2070,
provides information about how to write programs
that adhere to the Systems Application Architecture
C Level 2 definition and use ILE C specific functions
such as record I/O. It also provides information on
ILE C machine interface library functions.
ILE COBOL/400 Programmer’s Guide
, SC09-2072,
describes how to write, compile, bind, run, debug,
and maintain ILE COBOL programs on the AS/400
system. It provides programming information on
how to call other ILE COBOL and non-ILE COBOL
programs, share data with other programs, use
pointers, and handle exceptions. It also describes
how to perform input/output operations on externally
attached devices, database files, display files, and
ICF files.
ILE COBOL/400 Reference
, SC09-2073, describes
the ILE COBOL programming language. It provides
information on the structure of the ILE COBOL pro-
gramming language and on the structure of an ILE
COBOL source program. It also describes all Iden-
tification Division paragraphs, Environment Division
clauses, Data Division paragraphs, Procedure Divi-
sion statements, and Compiler-Directing statements.
ILE RPG/400 Programmer’s Guide
, SC09-2074, is a
guide for using the ILE RPG programming lan-
guage, which is an implementation of the RPG IV
language in the Integrated Language Environment
(ILE) on the AS/400 system. It includes information
on creating and running programs, with consider-
ations for procedure calls and interlanguage pro-
gramming. The guide also covers debugging and
exception handling and explains how to use AS/400
files and devices in RPG programs. Appendixes
include information on migration to RPG IV and
sample compiler listings. It is intended for people
with a basic understanding of data processing con-
cepts and of the RPG language.
ILE RPG/400 Reference
, SC09-2077, provides
information needed to write programs for the
AS/400 system using the ILE RPG programming
language. This book describes, position by position
and keyword by keyword, the valid entries for all
RPG specifications, and provides a detailed
description of all the operation codes and built-in
functions. This book also contains information on
the RPG logic cycle, arrays and tables, editing func-
tions, and indicators.
RPG/400 Reference
, SC09-1817, provides informa-
tion needed to write programs for the AS/400
system using the RPG programming language.
This book describes, position by position, the valid
entries for all RPG specifications, and provides a
detailed description of all the operation codes. This
book also contains information on the RPG logic
cycle, arrays and tables, editing functions, and indi-
cators.
RPG/400 User’s Guide
, SC09-1816, provides infor-
mation needed to write, test, and maintain RPG pro-
grams on the AS/400 system. The book provides
information on data organizations, data formats, file
processing, multiple file processing, automatic
report function, RPG command statements, testing
