Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
Since its introduction in 1993, Control Language Programming for the AS/400 has become an integral part of hundreds of AS/400 college courses. The textbook has proven to be a boon to students who plan to initiate careers as AS/400 programming professionals, as well as a must-read for programmers already in the AS/400 workforce who need to brush up on their CL techniques.
In this second edition, Bryan Meyers and Dan Riehl have updated the text to include discussion of the Integrated Language Environment (ILE). Specifically, Chapter 22 discusses fundamental changes ILE introduces to the AS/400’s execution model. This chapter will help the student understand how ILE has changed some traditional AS/400 concepts. In addition, a new appendix explains how to use the ILE debugger.
The authors, with more than 20 years’ experience in CL programming between them, write from an up-to-the minute knowledge of the skills required in today’s MIS environment.
Students without previous knowledge of CL will learn the basics quickly. As the book progresses methodically to more complex processes and concepts, it guides readers smoothly toward a professional grasp of CL programming techniques and style.
Control Language Programming for the AS/400, Second Edition, is organized into five sections containing 25 chapters. Each chapter ends with review questions and practical exercises and includes graduated programming assignments. Throughout, concise “Coding in Style” sidebars offer tips on style issues that give students the benefit of the authors’ years of practical experience. Two appendices cover essentials of AS/400 features needed for program development and SEU. A third appendix serves as a condensed reference to the CL commands used most often in CL programs.

Excellent text for your AS/400 CLP library!,
By sesweet@gte.net (Oklahoma City, OK, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Control Language Programming for the AS/400 (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Being new to the AS/400, I ordered this book to learn about AS/400 CLP. This is an excellent, one or two semester college-level course on AS/400 Control Language Programming. Get off by yourself and go through this book chapter by chapter, doing the exercises, and by the time you are finished, you will feel confident about your ability to do CL programming! Excellent reference book also!

A calm introduction to CL on the iSeries,
By John Mollman (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Control Language Programming for the AS/400 (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
This book was required for my class on CL programming on the iSeries. The author's style of writing is very clean and clear and he walks with you in describing CL programming and how to create some basic functional programs that are likely used in the real world. I like this book because it has many, many examples and talks with you rather than at you. The author understands that you are new to this topic.
I would surely recommend this book to somebody who is new to CL programming on the AS/400 / iSeries. This book will be a great source to have on the edge of my desk.
