How This Book Will Help You
This book is for AS/400 programmers and operators, and for mainframe programmers interested in programming on the AS/400. Aside from the IBM-supplied documentation, there are few books available on AS/400 programming and operations.
Now this new book, AS/400: A Practical Guide to Programming and Operations, gives you the type of nuts-and-bolts information you need. It covers all aspects of AS/400 programming and operations, including COBOL and RPG, plus AS/400 Control Language and Query. Other topics include: 
<ul>
<li>PC support and system logon and logoff </li>
<li>Adding terminals and users </li>
<li>Backup and restore </li>
<li>Basic object and library concepts </li>
<li>Online programming, and more!</li>
</ul>
It is full of illustrations and examples pulled from real programs to help you get the most from your AS/400. In addition, the easy-to-understand illustrations are extremely helpful for mainframe programmers interested in learning AS/400 concepts.
Another AS/400 Book from Wiley-QED
AS/400 Architecture and Application: The Database Machine by Jill T. Lawrence. What are the features of the AS/400? What can it do for you that other mid-range or microcomputers can't? Why is it such a powerful database machine? This book provides an introduction and a technical overview of the AS/400 and its database capabilities. The author, a former IBM product manager for intermediate systems, combines an insider's knowledge and an outsider's perspective to tell you exactly what the AS/400 is, what it does, and how it does it.

About This Book Here W.H. Inmon defines the systems development guidelines and principles that ought to govern the client/server environment—what they are, how they are implemented, and what happens if they are ignored—and develops an architecture that applies across all client/server environments. Inmon provides practical solutions to help build sound and stable client/server applications. He covers performance issues, control of update, ownership vs. stewardship of data, differences between operational and decision support processing, application-by-application development vs. integration, metadata, requirements-driven vs. data-driven development, decision support processing, and more. In this revised edition, Inmon introduces important concepts such as the "pure" server environment, data warehouse, and organizational dynamics, plus a micro/macro vision of the system.
