How This Book Will Help You
This book is for AS/400 programmers and operators, and for mainframe programmers interested in programming on the AS/400. Aside from the IBM-supplied documentation, there are few books available on AS/400 programming and operations.
Now this new book, AS/400: A Practical Guide to Programming and Operations, gives you the type of nuts-and-bolts information you need. It covers all aspects of AS/400 programming and operations, including COBOL and RPG, plus AS/400 Control Language and Query. Other topics include:
- PC support and system logon and logoff
- Adding terminals and users
- Backup and restore
- Basic object and library concepts
- Online programming, and more!
It is full of illustrations and examples pulled from real programs to help you get the most from your AS/400. In addition, the easy-to-understand illustrations are extremely helpful for mainframe programmers interested in learning AS/400 concepts.
