IBM i Programming Tools

PDM's user-defined options can enhance your productivity by reducing the need to rely on frequently used commands. Let's play with some practical advice on how to implement user-defined options in your programming environment. https://www.nicklitten.com/course/ibm-i-pdm-101-ep1-what-is-the-programming-development-manager/

Welcome back to final episode of this "RPG for complete noobies" series. Here we will poke around in some modern RPG code, and use Microsoft code editor (Visual Studio Code) to edit the RPG in real time on our IBM i Power System. How does VSCODE know about RPG? By using the marvelous CODE4I plugin of course! https://www.nicklitten.com/course/rpg-101-modern-rpg-deserves-a-modern-code-development-environment-vscode/

In this, the penultimate episode of "playing with smelly old RPG code" we take the final step into the world of modern RPG code layout. Introducing the **FREE command line, we finally tell the IBM i Compiler that we are not messing about. https://www.nicklitten.com/course/rpg-101-finally-stepping-up-to-a-modern-rpg-free-format-layout/

RPG. As the younguns would say "The OG". The original RPG, RPG3 or RPG400...... YES, YES I know there were earlier versions which were written with twigs, old bits of rock and trails in the sand but for this demo we are going to write a very VERY simple RPG program from the AS400 age. https://www.nicklitten.com/course/rpg-101-basic-old-fashioned-as400-rpg-hello-world-example

Yep. You guessed it! In this thrilling episode we are going to take that old column based RPGLE code and set it free. Take our first tentative steps into the world of free format RPG code.

Welcome back to part 2 of "programming like an AS400 Noob" ;) In this video we can look at our original simple HELLO WORLD code sample and uplift it to RPGLE format. We can have a quick spin through the PDM development environment and look at some command line tricks.
