Overview

Audio

The Control Language Programming series is intended for IBM i programmers, operators, and other personnel who will write CL programs.

The first course of the series presents an overview of CL commands and CL programs. It also shows how variables are defined and used in a CL program. Subsequent courses show how to implement logic structures such as IF, IF/ELSE, and loops; how to pass control and data between programs; how to display screens at a user's workstation; and how to receive data from that user. The series covers the CL commands used to access records from a database, how to send and receive messages, and how to monitor messages to handle errors in a CL program. You will also see how to use data queues and data areas to communicate with other programs.

Approximate Study Time for the Entire Series: 10-12 hours
