3.0 out of 5 stars
Short and to the point, but still over priced,

This review is from: CL Programming for the AS/400--2nd edition (Textbook Binding)
For all of you in the iSeries and AS/400 market looking at books you already know every single one of the books for our favorite server is way, way, way over priced. I know why, but at the same time I don't care for that reasoning. The book is pretty good for someone who is a programmer already, not for anyone who is new to writing CL or RPG on the AS/400. Overall I like the book. I got a good bit of use out of it in the first week or so. I would recommend it to anyone who is trying to get more from CL type scripting on the AS/400. To wrap this up: Good Book, Too Much $$$, but a good reference when you get tired of searching IBM's PDFs.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: CL Programming for the IBM AS/400 (Paperback)
CL Programming for the IBM AS/400 is a good textbook for learning CL programming on the AS/400 / iSeries / IBM i. The book can also be used as a great reference manual.
The book covers many areas of the CL language, first by introducing you to the language itself, then into topics such as the structure of a CL program, expressions, program logic, parameter passing, message and error handling, as well as display file and database file processing. Even after almost 20 years of its publication, the book will still be very useful for IBM i system administrators and developers alike.

Ordered the book, but a refund was initiated apparently because the book isn't available although I am not exactly sure.
