AS/400 Architecture and Application: The Database Machine

About This Book 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. You'll discover how the AS/400 provides unbelievable savings to mainframe and microcomputer users in new business application start-up and maintenance time and programming costs. You'll learn how the AS/400's integrated database design makes data access fast and easy for programmers and users alike. This is the best guide available for anyone considering downsizing or distributed computing and for AS/400 users who want to know more about what their AS/400 can do for them. Another AS/400 Book from Wiley-QED 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.
