Book Description
Migration of applications developed in COBOL to the IBM AS/400 is greatly simplified with this learning example guide. It familiarizes programmers with the complete application development cycle that uses the most important functions of OS/400 and COBOL. All features of the latest ANSI-85 COBOL standard are discussed. Coverage of applications development ranges from simple to complex applications on IBM's AS/400 and mid-rnage computer using COBOL/400. Special attention is given to how to improve AS/400 cost factors. Users are shown step by step how to build a complete working application using COBOL/400. Other chapters address message files-externally defined database, display, and printer files-creating OS/400 commands-and writing CL programs. Synopsis
