Note: This is a double session. To get the most from it, plan to attend both parts.For RPGers, ILE brings with it procedures, modules, service programs, binding directories and binder language - it can get confusing!In this interactive session, Susan will take her life in her hands by walking through a live step-by-step demo of some of those topics. In the process, we'll discover some of the problems that can occur - how they show themselves and how to fix or avoid them.Our roadmap includes the following steps:Creating a (very) simple RPG procedure in a moduleHow (and why) to put that module into a service programUsing a binding directory to simplify creating programs that use our procedureAdd a new procedure to the same module and service programGuidelines for testing procedures in service programsMaintaining the service program over time & avoid signature violationsTo get the most from this session, it would be helpful if you're already familiar with the basic syntax of RPG procedures (aka subprocedures) and if you know a bit about what modules and service programs are.
