Coding in RPG (IBM i/AS400). Creating a service program.
In this RPG example, I'm showing you how to convert a piece of code (in this case a subroutine), into a procedure. And after that, I'm showing you how simple is putting it into a service program, so everybody can use it from their programs too.
Have fun!
