Learn how to be productive using CoOperative Development Environment/ 400 (CODE/400), the most dynamic application development environment for power programming and maximum productivity on the AS/400. With Understanding CODE/400 on the AS/400, students will develop the skills to, write typical interactive and batch programming applications using the CODE/400 language-sensitive editor, compiler, and debugging tools. Topics are organized in sequential order so, students can build upon skills needed to move to more advanced features of CODE/400.

KEY FEATURES:

Emphasis is on CODE/400 tools, including the language-sensitive CODE Editor, CODE Designer, verifiers, CODE Program Generator, CODE Debugger, and CODE Project Organizer.

Business examples throughout the book illustrate the standard, everyday business assignments that a software developer would be doing on the AS/400.

Review questions, self-test questions, and practice assignments at the end of every chapter help measure student understanding and reinforce learning.

The book includes a CD-ROM with an evaluation version of IBM' VisualAge' RPG and CoOperative Development Environment/400 (CODE/400) for AS/400.
