Complete CL : The Definitive Control Language Programming Guide

This new and updated version of the classic 1992 book brings together the solid basics of CL and the newest innovations to this mainstay programming language. Ted Holt has completely updated the book, including a new debugging chapter updated to teach the interactive debugger, a new chapter on ILE concepts, and the new date conversion enhancements. In addition, all of the chapters have been updated to address the change from an OPM orientation to an ILE orientation. Upon completion of this book, you will be able to: write simple and advanced CL programs, understand the strengths and limitations of the CL language, manipulate strings with built-in functions and operators, code looping and decision structures, make procedures communicate with one another via messages, make CL procedures communicate with users, use data queues and data areas, understand and use overrides effectively, process display and database files, use API's, effectively use the QTEMP library, understand and avoid the pitfalls of adopted authorities, understand security issues, develop a good CL coding style, convert S/36 OCL and S/38 CL to native CL, understand the differences between OPM and ILE, avoid common mistakes when writing CL, use CL in both batch and interactive processing, compile CL programs and modules and bond modules into programs, and use the interactive debugger.Malaga, Ernie is the author of 'Complete CL : The Definitive Control Language Programming Guide', published 1994 under ISBN 9781883884031 and ISBN 1883884039.
