This presentation is an introduction to the IBM i Power System and a look at the IBM Midrange System's heritage from the 1970's up to correct days. From the old pre-internet AS/400 systems, through the iSeries Generation to today's modern Web2.0 IBM i Power Systems.

Which 5250 Screen Emulator shall I use?
The IBM i System, like its predecessors the AS400 and iSeries, uses something called 5250 to stream its data to a terminal, often called a green screen. You've seen these clunky old terminals in black and white sci-fi movies. We still use them... sort of... we use terminal emulators (software that emulates the functions of those old terminals) to type commands into a command-line interface using windows/linux/mac whatever.

So which one is best?

IBM i Basics PDM  ( Programming development manager ) is installed as a part of the Applications Development ToolSet (ADT) on most IBM i  systems today. PDM is an environment that lets programmers and/or operators navigate three levels of the PDM: Other "work with" commands for the designated levels of PDM are as follows: WRKLIBPDM  (Library level) WRKOBJPDM  (Object level) WRKMBRPDM  (Member level) PDM allows users to use shortcuts to perform repeated tasks. Using a specified options file (via F16), one can tailor these shortcuts to meet their needs. These shortcuts are limited to two alpha numeric characters, and are entered in the input field immediately preceding the library, object, or member. These shortcuts can be repeated en masse for all entries displayed within the relevant PDM screen via F13. This reduces the time it takes to complete common tasks like assigning authority, changing object ownership and several other functions. PDM also recalls last input parameters on a user basis, making repetition and recall easy. PDM will allow a user to copy or rename libraries, objects and members. In addition, objects may be moved. It will also allow users to edit source members using the SEU function, edit display files via SDA or printer files via RLU. Some other quick commands include saving, restoring, displaying descriptions, deleting, changing, working with, running, changing text, finding a string, creating a program or service program, running a debugger, and comparing. PDM also has a filter tool (F17) which allows a user to narrow their search parameters and limit results by object, object type, attributes, a size range, or by complete or partial text.

How do we start our modernization project?

The driving idea behind modernizing a legacy IBM AS400 or iSeries application is much more than the simple task of refactoring our old RPG and CLP codebase.

Let's talk about SUBFILE programming in RPG. If you have grown up through the world of AS400 a few decades ago, or through the wonderful ISERIES machines of the early 2000's then you *maybe* are using the current IBM i POWER SYSTEMS that replaced those old boxes. If that's the case, in most places you are using subfiles to display information on those smelly old green screen terminals. Writing a SUBFILE PROGRAM means knowing how to code them, ranging from simple full load, to expanding, to page at a time. Each type of Subfile has different programming styles... so let's dive in and have a play with SUBFILES in RPG Programming.

SEU, IBM's Source Entry Utility (aka Stoneage Editing Utility) is a basic green screen code editor. SEU runs exclusively in terminal mode, offering a solid (if outdated) source code editing tool. It's basic but has a long heritage and some very well known techniques... and some nifty secret tricks...

Using an IDE (integrated development environment ) for the IBM i Power System can seem daunting at first. It's a big upgrade for established programmers, comfortable using SEU.

But, modern IBM i professionals swear by the graphical IDE, particularly compared to older greenscreen coding environments like PDM and SEU. In this course we will cover all the main elements of using an IDE to write code in both RPGLE, CL, PF, LF , SQL, DSPF and PRTF and more.
