Delayed Justice

Colonel Swenson, a commanding officer in the 8th Air Force, is a dominating figure.  A true wartime hero, he is nevertheless despised by many soldiers in his command.  As an autocrat who wields immense and unwarranted power, he so alienates some of his charges that at least a dozen men swear to "get him" one way or another.  The story of his heartlessness in fascinating, culminated by his ordering American airmen, who were prisoners of war, to embark on a death cruise down the Danube under the aegis of the Waffen SS. From the skies over wartime Europe to the colonel's successful business career, his primary antagonist is Rod Drayton, whose great friend, Lenny, dies because of the colonel's perfidy.  As he lays dying in Rod's arms, Lenny elicits a promise from Rod that his death will be avenged.  How, and by whom, makes for an intriguing suspense novel that moves quickly to a surprise climax. Surrounding the two main characters are Maggie, the beautiful English war!  bride, who pays an awful price for her attractiveness, and Pat Decker, whose actions sometimes belie the fact that he is Rod's best friend.

Internationally recognized RPG expert Bob Cozzi has updated his classic work on RPG IV to include all of the new function and features that have been included in the language since 1996 - including the new D-specs plus more than 30 new opcodes and built-in functions. Cozzi takes you through the language from the very foundations to the most advanced technique. At the core of the value of this book are the chapters on Built-In Functions and opcodes. Cozzi details each BIF and opcode with a syntax table that gives you the information you need at a glance plus an explanation of the how and why of usage. And this isn't just a book on theory and rules. Cozzi includes over 100 charts and tables that show you how the rules apply. He also includes samples of the functions and operations in real-life code examples - over 350 individual examples. 
This is a book that you will turn to again and again as you program in RPG IV. Upon completion, you will understand the foundations of RPG IV including structure, specifications, and opcodes, work with each of the specification formats, integrate RPG with DDS specifications for files and displays, program expressions in assignment, declarative, and compare statements, work with parameters and return values, program using the rich set of built-in functions, process full procedural files sequentially and randomly, and use program and file status codes. 
This book also covers the following: working with date, time, and timestamp opcodes, using operation extenders, program both embedded and external subprocedures, and knowing how to export global variables. In addition, you will know how to export global variables, and understand how to optimize RPG programs for performance, control program logic without indicators, program with modular design, use data areas effectively, define a prototyped subprocedure, and have a complete reference to all BIFs and OpCodes in RPG IV.

There are hundreds of thousands of AS/400s around the world that are running legacy applications - applications that were developed early in the life of the AS/400 or for the System/36 or System/38 or even the System/3! Many of these applications are the backbone of your business. They manage your payables and receivables, run your payroll, balance your accounts, and provide the tools that you use to make important business decisions. Should they be updated to more current technology to take advantage of the powerful enhancements IBM has made to the AS/400, OS/400, and RPG? Many would say "No" without thinking through the implications of that decision. Putting your company's IT resources in a condition of stasis while technology moves on may be a costly business mistake. It is not only possible, but also profitable, to derive some of the benefits of new technology from within a legacy application. IBM's recent enhancements provide a means of immediately increasing application reliability and programmer productivity with relatively little effort, while building a firm basis for the future of your business. While the technology means new concepts to be learned and new programming skills to be acquired, very few of these new enhancements are so radically different that they fall outside the grasp of the average RPG programmer. This book is a tutorial aimed at showing programmers how to convert and re-engineer their applications by taking them through a re-engineering of a sample application - step by step. Author Paul Tuohy covers conversion of RPG IV programs as well as re-engineering them to take full advantage of RPG IV and ILE. He also covers triggers, referential integrity, and APIs so that your applications can take advantage of all the new technology that is available today. This book will be a valuable aid as you evaluate your legacy applications and then move into re-engineering. Upon completion of this book, you will be able to: Understand the re-engineering process, assess the business reasons for re-engineering, evaluate legacy applications' need for re-engineering, enhance and modularize your applications and programs with RPG IV and ILE, know the difference between conversion and re-egineering with RPG IV, understand the basics and more advanced features of RPG IV, convert to RPG IV using IBM's or third party software, incorporate built-in functions to enhance your applications, understand and implement powerful subprocedures in your programs, enhance your applications design with prototyping, use ILE effectively in the re-engineering process, implement service programs to strengthen your applications, incorporate triggers and referential integrity for standardization and security of your database, and utilize the new, powerful APIs to broaden the scope of your application.
