You’ve probably heard about ILE, the AS/400 Integrated Language Environment, but do you know what it is? How it relates to AS/400 programming languages? How it will affect your job? This book, written by two members of the language development team in IBM’s Toronto lab, gives you a clear and concise explanation of ILE’s new functionality plus the concepts and terminology it introduces: The history of OPM/EPM and ILE; the significance of modules; why binding is necessary; what service programs are and do; how binding directories save programming effort; the importance of activation groups; ILE APIs; how exceptions are handled; and the degugging tools.
