Arrays may be the most neglected tool in the RPG programmer's toolbox. Hardly surprising considering how pathetic RPG's array support was for so many years.But things have changed. Today RPG's arrays are "all grown up". Many new capabilities and array-oriented operations have been added to the language.During this session, Jon will begin by reviewing the "new basics": Data Structure ArraysMulti-dimensional arraysSorting and searching arraysMulti-key array sortingBefore moving on to discuss: The new FOR-EACH opcode and the IN operatorSupport for dynamically sized arraysUsing dynamic arrays with SQLNew array-oriented BIFs such as %LIST, %SPLIT, %MAXARR and %MINARR
