For additional information about topics related to ILE RPG programming, refer to the following publications:

CL Programming, SC41-5721, provides a wide-ranging discussion of programming topics including a general discussion on objects and libraries, CL programming, controlling flow and communicating between programs, working with objects in CL programs, and creating CL programs. Other topics include predefined and impromptu messages and message handling, defining and creating user-defined commands and menus, application testing, including debug mode, breakpoints, traces, and display functions.
See the IBM® i Information Center programming category (URL http://www.ibm.com/systems/i/infocenter/) for a description of the IBM i control language (CL) and its commands.
Communications Management, SC41-5406, provides information about work management in a communications environment, communications status, tracing and diagnosing communications problems, error handling and recovery, performance, and specific line speed and subsystem storage information.
See the IBM i Information Center database and file systems category for related database programming topics such as, using files in application programs, database organization, data description specifications (DDS) and DDS keywords, distributed data management (DDM), embedded SQL programming, and application programming interfaces.
Experience RPG IV Multimedia Tutorial, GK2T-9882-00 is an interactive self-study program explaining the differences between RPG III and RPG IV and how to work within the new ILE environment. An accompanying workbook provides additional exercises and doubles as a reference upon completion of the tutorial. ILE RPG code examples are shipped with the tutorial and run directly on the operating system.
ILE Concepts, SC41-5606, explains concepts and terminology pertaining to the Integrated Language Environment® (ILE) architecture. Topics covered include creating modules, binding, running programs, debugging programs, and handling exceptions.
Rational Development Studio for i: ILE RPG Programmer's Guide, SC09-2507, provides information about the ILE RPG programming language, which is an implementation of the RPG IV language in the Integrated Language Environment (ILE). It includes information on creating and running programs, with considerations for procedure calls and interlanguage programming. The guide also covers debugging and exception handling and explains how to use files and devices in RPG programs. Appendixes include information on migration to RPG IV and sample compiler listings. It is intended for people with a basic understanding of data processing concepts and of the RPG language.
Who Knew You Could Do That with RPG IV? A Sorcerer's Guide to System Access and More, SG24-5402 provides hints and tips for system programmers who want to take full advantage of RPG IV and the Integrated Language Environment (ILE).
