| − | === BPCS Programming languages ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Before anyone messes with BPCS software, they had better have a good understanding of [[BPCS Naming Conventions]] and [[BPCS *LIBL Gotchas]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | BPCS Programming languages include: [[RPG]] [[CLP]] DDS SQL UIM [[AS/SET]]. Different versions of BPCS use different versions of these languages, such as [[RPG/400]] vs. [[RPG 4]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some BPCS sites use IBM Tools that might not strictly be considered programming languages such as PDM [[Query]] DFU SDA REXX.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Some BPCS sites may be on ancient versions of BPCS associated with OS that came before OS/400 such as the SSP of S/36 and the programming languages supported there.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We need to be careful with [[CLP/400 examples]] not to include any code that came with BPCS since that is copyrighted and licensed.

| − | === BPCS Hosts & Versions ===
| |

| − | BPCS is available and is used in many flavors.
| |

| − | Most companies run it on AS/400 or iSeries as opposed to the alternatives: some UNIX host; Oracle; or Windows.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Windows hosting only works when whole company has a very small number of seats, and this should not be confused with people using Windows as the GUI means of [[Client Access]] to their BPCS data.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Most popular versions appear to be V6 variants then V405CD but this is a moving target.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Converting from BPCS on [[Twinax]] to BPCS on Client / Server can involve a world of [[BPCS Infrastructure]] challenges to consider.
