Bob
Luebbe, President of Linoma Software,
to Speak at COMMON
Bob Luebbe has been asked to speak again at COMMON. The name of his
session is RPG Application Architecture for the Modern Age.
The course description is as follows:
Your RPG applications contain an abundance of business logic that
took years to develop and refine. So why are you spending the time
and money to replicate this complex logic into your graphical and web
applications? This course will show you how to restructure your RPG
applications into a new multi-tier architecture, which separates your
existing rules into powerful and reusable business objects. You will
then be shown how to share this business logic with your green screens,
Java front-ends and web applications. With RPG's high-speed database
access and familiarity, its the perfect language for centralizing all
your business rules.
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Modernize existing RPG applications.
2. Move existing RPG logic into reusable business objects.
3. Share business rules with Green Screens, Java and the Web.
The session will only be offered once - Tuesday, September 9th from
02:00-03:15 PM so don't miss it!
If you're unable to attend COMMON and would be interested in discussing
with us how we can help your company modernize your existing RPG applications
or receive the presentation outline, send an email to sales@linomasoftware.com.

The free-form coding style has been available for RPG IV since IBM
released V5R1 in the spring of 2001.
Since that time, Linoma has used
the free-form syntax extensively for in-house development. Based on
positive feedback from our developers and well-known experts in the
RPG community, we are highly recommending the RPG free-form syntax
to our customers.
We believe that the free-form syntax is a big improvement to the RPG
language and has many productivity advantages. Developers are finally
no longer bound by the fixed columns of traditional RPG calculations.
Now you can simply enter your RPG logic in a natural left-to-right
fashion, similar to the coding style in other modern languages (i.e.
Java and Visual Basic).
While the free-form syntax only is allowed in the area where C specifications
are normally entered, it is definitely a huge step in the right direction.
To give you a better understanding of why we are recommending the
free-form RPG style, we have compiled a list of benefits we believe
it offers over traditional fixed-format syntax:
1. Nested logic can be indented
2. Source code can be entered faster
3. More room to enter long expressions
4. Right-hand comments can immediately follow the logic
5. Free-form will cohabitate with fixed format specs
6. Growing number of source examples only in Free-form
7. IBM is focusing its resources on free-form RPG
8. Easier to learn for newcomers
9. Enhances your career

"Every AS/400 should have Surveyor/400 installed on
it. I can't imagine someone else wanting to use another tool
to do what Surveyor/400 does."
9.
"We used to use Client Access for
file transfer but Surveyor/400 is so much easier and faster...
I LOVE SURVEYOR!"
8.
"Surveyor/400 is GREAT!! I saved 6 GB of disk on the
first day. It will also save me 24 hours of programming to
satisfy an auditor's request to view programs modified within
a window of time. I'll take two licenses please."
7.
“The import feature of Surveyor is one of the best
and easiest I've seen yet.”
6.
"We were looking for a spooled file, out of a user who
does hundreds of spooled files, on an output queue with several
thousand files, so we decided to give the new improved Spool
File Manager a chance. Wow! It's fast, it's powerful, it's
versatile, it's great!"
5.
"We appreciate your constant attention to Surveyor/400
as it is our primary DBA tool for our iSeries. No other product
comes close to Surveyor!"
4.
"Converting spooled files to a PC format can't be any
easier."
3.
The file editor is much easier & more powerful than the
other file editors I used to use. Being able to retrieve deleted
records is great!
2.
“Occasionally, I stumble across an AS/400 utility
that’s so easy to use and well designed it immediately
appears on my “must have” software list. Linoma
Software’s Surveyor/400 is one such utility.”
1.
"It's simply amazing all that Surveyor/400 can do!”
