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!

This book was definitely an effective tool in helping me learn and implement CL into my development techniques. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn CL or just wants a good reference book on hand

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.

This book is great for learning CL. It's easy to read, goes slowly and gets you writing programs in no time. It covers most of the topics you would have to deal with such as submitting jobs and commands as batch jobs, printer and file overrides, error handling, data queues and user defined commands. It even gives tips about how to make your CL code easier to read and using positional parameters so you don't have to type more than you need to.

The book is what I expected and is easy to use for someone with some iseries experience. This book isn't a beginners guide about using the iseries and does not explain how to use your terminal session. It does get you going using PDM and SEU. It does have a section about ILE programming and CL in that context, so it isn't just your old-school CL.

If you need to learn CL, this is a good book to start from.

I'm so glad I bought this book. It's the best $15 that I've spent at Amazon.com. I bought it used and had some coffee marks in the first few chapters, but boy, this book is great! It also gives you an introduction of the AS/400 (OS/400). I know Windows, VMS, and UNIX, and I'm interested to know the AS400 because the product that I support also runs on the AS/400 platform. I sorted of gotten some ideas here and there but I wanted to learn more. This book is so great! My first AS400 book and I love it. I've ordered a few more other AS400 books together with this one; and have paid a lot more for the others. But this one beat them all! It's a very good book!

I used this book in school for my Intro to AS/400 and Control Language Programming courses. It is surprisingly easy to follow and understand as far as programming books go.

Worst mistake I made was selling this book have completing my course work as I am now working as a AS/400 programmer and it is a really great reference manual.

Service was ok but the book wasn't in the best condition. When I had to return it 2 weeks later, because my school changed the book, I couldn't. All my tries to contact the seller were unsuccessful. Be aware of that.

This book is helpful for beginers and advanced programmer
