| COURSE : |
AS/400 Control Language Programming - (M018) |
| OBJECTIVE : |
-> Upon completion of the course, participants should be able to write
interactive and batch CL programs that incorporate the following:
Execution of a sequence of high level language applications
programs.
Automatic handling of exceptions, errors and inquiry
messages Interrogation and changing of job attributes and system
values.
Conditional execution and branching within a CL program
Arithmetic and logic operations
Execution time prompting of users within a CL program Data
areas and data queues to communicate among jobs on the systems
Message communication between users and programs
Use Interactive Source Debugger to debug programs
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 |
| PREREQUISITES : |
-> Participants should be able to:
Perform basic system operations, such as using PDM, SEU,
managing libraries and library lists, and displaying spooled output on a
workstation
Send and receive message Code (DDS) and create simple
physical, logical and display files
Enter, compile and run a CL program, given the source for the
program
Describe the different between an interactive and batch job
Use the submit job (SBMJOB) command
Decsribe the following AS/400 object types: job description, job
queue, output queue and library
This knowledge may be obtained by attending the following courses:
M012 - Implementation and M016 - Work & system Management |
| METHOD : |
-> Hands-on oriented training with one workstation for each participant
-> Lecturer-assisted and use of computer-generated slides for
presentation
-> Training materials which include notes with key points & graphics
layout |
| DURATION : |
3 days (approximately 21 hours) |
| AUDIENCE : |
-> Upgrade users to AS/400 from the IBM mid-range
System/3X series.
-> Programmers, system programmers and
administrators whose job requires them to write
CL/400 programs. |
| WHAT YOU WILL LEARN : |
-> Write CL programs to perform various system and
application control functions. Write intermediate level interactive
and batch CL programs, user commands and CL programs that
functions as user tools (programs that user the output of
display commands as input). |
