  The power and popularity of IBM's AS/400 midrange system continues to grow with the launch of Version 2, Release 1.1, and the latest E models. This revision of the guide to developing and coding business applications on the AS/400 features these new IBM releases, as well as eight entirely new chapters covering the latest developments in operations, IBM and third-party tools, PC and mainframe connectivity, performance tuning, and more. In addition, all of the chapters in the book have been carefully updated to reflect new software developments in RPG and CODE/400. AS/400 Concepts and Facilities aims to provide programmers, consultants, systems analysts, and DP managers with a practical introduction to this midrange system and demonstrates exactly how it works and what it can do. It includes detailed coverage of such key topics as: navigating the AS/400; using CL (Command Language) and common functions; creating a database and running reports and queries; using development tools like the Source Entry Utility (SEU) and the Data File Utility (DFU); integrating applications, communications, and migration; and much more. In addition, the book is filled with sound methods and real code examples that will help users code actual business applications with ease.
