RE: Process to Design and develop RPG program

I recommend a book, don't recall the exact title, but an older edition of Subfiles in RPG
(not the book for Free-Format, which came with V5R1 )

Subject: Re: Process to Design and develop RPG program

I wanted to know the steps to follow to design and develop a simple program
(*PGM) in RPG400(Interactive) associated with a Database(PF & LF), and the techniques and tools used in each step.
I use OS V5R3M0.

Sincerly,
Mustapha

Mustapha,

It would help if you were to provide additional context for your
question, such as what level of expertise you might have with RPG and
IBM i development, and whether you might be interested in using RPG
for 5250 or Web development, or whether you're interested in developer
tools for RPG development.

The design of RPG programs may depend on whether the use is for
interactive applications, batch applications, reports, communication
via sockets, connecting to Java resources, etc.

To begin, you might consider what work you want to handle in *PGM
objects, and what work you want to handle in *SRVPGM objects. How will
the procedures will be evoked (from the command line, etc.) The ILE
Concepts Guide offers good advise about how to structure applications
and make them modular.

RPG is especially well suited for database I/O and screen I/O. But in
what context might that be important to you?
