ILE Concepts - and Analyzing ILE Objects with IBM i/Db2 Services
Tuesday May 20, 2025 9:15am - 10:15am PDT
Room 2
Programs, Modules, Service Programs, Internal and exported Functions and Procedures, Binding Directories ... in short ILE Concepts are necessary for a modular and modern programming in RPG and other ILE messages. But ... sometimes still a mess.
Once the Concepts are understood and used, programs can easily be created by putting "puzzle pieces" pieces together, i.e. calling functions and procedures.
But how to analyze our ILE Objects, i.e. where are our procedures/functions located, which modules are bound to what (service-)programs etc?
The good news is, IBM provided in the last releases and technology refreshes a lot of powerful IBM and Db2 Services.
Among these services are also all kinds of Services for analyzing and managing ILE Objects.
This session combines an introduction into the ILE Concepts and shows what services are available for analyzing the ILE Objects (modules, programs, service programs, modules …)
