iSeries-AS/400 COBOL Programming

Course Code: ACB2

Description

iSeries-AS/400 COBOL Programming is a self-paced, multimedia course providing comprehensive, practical training in the design and coding of COBOL/400 programs.

Upon completion you'll be able to:

Use Source Entry Utility and the Programming Development Manager to code and create COBOL/400 programs.

Create batchable programs that print reports and process files using advanced COBOL/400 techniques.

Use structured programming input/output and logic control operations.

Create and use externally described printer files using Data Description Specifications and Report Layout Utility.

Use externally described physical and logical files.

Process files using composite and partial keys.

Use simple and multi-dimensional tables.

Use sophisticated PERFORM processing.

Call programs from programs and pass parameters.

Execute OS/400 commands from a program.

Use copy books to avoid redundant code in Working Storage Section and Procedure Division.

Use advanced debugging techniques.
