From the Publisher

Never write an RPG program from scratch again! Ready-to-Run RPG/400 Techniques provides a variety of RPG templates, subroutines, and copy modules, sprinkled with evangelical advice, to help you write robust and effective RPG/400 programs. Highlights include string-handling routines, numeric editing routines, date routines, error-handling modules, and tips for using OS/400 APIs with RPG/400. As the first book in The AS/400® Expert Series, Ready-To-Run RPG/400 Techniques is intended for the RPG programmer who wants to write better, faster, and more effective programs. The authors don't spend much time explaining RPG concepts -- they assume a conversational familiarity with them.

This book's tested and ready-to-run code building blocks -- provided on the accompanying CD-ROM -- easily snap into existing RPG code and also integrate well with new RPG/400 projects.
