Course Description:
This course rounds out your basic RPG coding skills. These skills, along with those you acquired by taking the first two courses in the RPG Programming series, are the foundation on which later courses in the series will build. The course begins by identifying the type of information that can be provided on a header specification and showing you how to code an H-spec.

Next, the course shows how to use subroutines to modularize a program. You will see how to code a subroutine and how to call it from other routines. The course then considers built-in functions and the various operations they perform. Arrays and tables are covered next. You will see how to define, initialize, modify, search, and sort a run-time array or table. The course ends by describing the date processing capabilities built into the RPG IV language.
