RPG Programming with Printer Files

Week 10

Agenda

• RPG Programming with Printer Files• Test 2 today!!

SQL and RPG

• When defining a table, SQL doesn’t follow the rules that the record format name must be different than the table name.

• RPG needs the two to be different

Solve the SQL problem – F Spec change

Filename: This is where you type the pf or table nameFT (File Type): I O U CFD (File Designation): P R S T F

(we use blank or F)FF (File Format): F ERecord Length: blank or a numberRAT (Record Address Type): A D F K P D Z ( we use blank or K)DEVICE: Printer, Disk, WorkStn

Solve the SQL problem – F Spec change

KEYWORDS: RENAME(fileName:newRecName)

Defining a Spooled File

Filename: Name of the fileFT (File Type): OFD (File Designation): blankFF (File Format): EDEVICE: PrinterKEYWORDS: OFLIND(*IN01)

Rounding Numbers in RPG

Eval (h)

Eval (h) hourlyrate = hourlyrate * 1.07;

Logic for an RPG program that creates a report for all of the

records in a file

To print lines on the Report…

• Write recordname
