iSeries (AS/400) Advanced COBOL Programming
Course Code: ACB5
Description
iSeries-AS/400 Advanced COBOL Programming is a self-paced, audio driven course
providing practical training in advanced COBOL/400 tips and techniques.
Upon completion you'll be able to:
 Create programs
that use multiple subfiles with updates to data base files.
Call an IBM-supplied
utility program from a COBOL program or a CL/COBOL program combination to perform
character string searches.
Call an IBM-supplied
utility program to execute dynamic CL commands from a COBOL program or a CL/COBOL
program combination.
Call an IBM-supplied
utility program that performs character translation, such as ASCII to EBCDIC
or lower to uppercase.
Create "smart"
programs that handle program exceptions and error conditions without terminating.
Create programs
that access file member names, size, overrides, spooled files, cursor location,
and library lists.
Create split-screen
and other multiple subfile programs.
Create windows-style
programs using user-defined streams.
