AS/400: A Practical Guide to Programming and Operations by Donald G. Zeilenga and Donna M. Lenczycki. Until now there wasn′t a lot of information available to help AS/400 programmers and computer operators do their jobs better. Aside from the IBM–supplied documentation, there were no books available on AS/400 programming and operations. Now, this new manual gives you the type of nuts–and–bolts information you need. It covers all aspects of AS/400 programming and operation, including COBOL and RPG, plus AS/400 Control Language and Query. Topics include PC support and system logon and logoff, adding terminals and users, backup and restore, basic object and library concepts, online programming, and more. It is full of illustrations and examples pulled from real programs.
