Product Details

Whether you are a novice programmer who needs to get up to speed on the ins and outs of CL or an experienced professional looking for a daily CL reference, this comprehensive book is the guide you need. Here, you will find all the must-know basics of the CL language, as well as full coverage of its latest and most powerful features--including structured programming capabilities, file processing enhancements, and the Integrated Language Environment (ILE).
