Come with me, while I play with someone else's old RPG400 code which performs a *PF file update and allows paging forward and backward through the data... then we will refactor that old ISERIES COLUMN BASED RPG to modern IBM i RPG ILE Freeformat and test it.

Assuming that works... then we will upgrade the *PF to an *SQL TABLE and prove that it works with the program without needing any recompiles.

Sounds like a fun Friday evening ;)

Hey there, IBM i programmers! Welcome to my channel where I try to cover AS400, iSERIES and IBM-i topics like programming, code refactoring, modernization, and technical things like OS updates, RPG subfiles or SQL stored procedures. All on the IBM i system, focusing on practical steps to improve your development work.

You will find tips on modernization, GIT integration for source control, and tools like Project Bob for refactoring legacy code.

This content is designed for beginners learning iSeries basics or experienced developers optimizing Power Systems performance.
