Section 3 - Core RPG (15%)
Recognize appropriate use of RPG creation commands (e.g., CRTxxxPGM, CRTxxxMOD, CRTPGM, CRTBNDxxx)
- CRTxxxPGM
- Used for compiling a RPG OPM program .
- CRTxxxMOD
- Used for compiling a RPG ILE 4 module. It will create a non exectutable *module object.
- CRTPGM
- Used for linking one or more modules to create a program. It will create a executale *pgm object.
- CRTBNDxxx
- Used for comiling a RPG ILE 4 program. When the source is compiled, it will create a module in QTEMP and then create a program from it and finally deletes the module.
Define basic arrays (e.g., compile time, pre-run time, run time) using D specs

Use basic array handling (e.g., *IN, LOOKUP, SORTA, MOVE and MOVEA, indexing)
Code and use figurative constants (e.g., *LOVAL, *HIVAL, *ALL, *BLANKS, *ZEROS, *ON, *OFF)
- *ALL
- *BLANKS -- Fills an alpha field with ' '
- *HIVAL -- Fills a field with the highest possible value the field can hold
- *LOVAL -- Fills a field with the lowest possible value the field can hold
- *OFF -- Generally used for indicators to either turn them off or check to see if they are off
- *ON -- Generally used for indicators to either turn them on or check to see if they are on
- *ZEROS -- Fills a numeric field with 0
Code and use job date and system date
Job Date
System Date
Code and use structured operation codes (e.g., DO, DOUxx, DOWxx, IF/ELSE/ELSEIF, SELECT/WHEN, CASxx/EXSR)
DO
DOUxx
DOWxx
dow not %eof(); // process enddo;
IF/ELSE/ELSEIF
if mycondition; // the code else; // other condition endif;
if mycondition; // the code elseif new condition; // new code endif;
SELECT/WHEN

CASxx/EXSR
Code and use structured operation codes with expressions (+, -, * ,/, **, <, >, =, (), and, or, not)
- Addition
result = field1 + field2;
- Subtraction
result = field1 - feild2;
- Multiplication
result = field1 * field2;
- Division
result = field1 / field2;
- **
Ed - What is this??
result = field1 ** field2;
- Less Than
if field1 < field2; // my code here endif;
- Greater Than
if field1 > field2; // my code here endif;
- Equal
if field1 = field2; // my code here endif;
- Parenthesis
result = (field1 + field2) * field3;
- And
if field1 > field2 and field3 > field4; // my code here endif;
- Or
if field1 > field2 or field3 > field4; // my code here endif;
- not
if field1 > field2 and not field3 > field4; // my code here endif;
Code and use date data types and arithmetic operations, including date operations in expressions
Code and use SDS
See Program Status Data Structure
Code and use *INZSR
'*INZSR' is automatically run before any other mainline code.
begsr *inzsr; // code for the *inzsr here endsr //*inzsr;
Code and use RPG IV built-in functions
Use the H-spec keywords
See H-Spec Keywords
Use RPG IV OpCodes (e.g., Arithmetic, Date, Message, Array, Declarative, File, Branching, Indicator setting, String handling, Structured programming, compare, initialization, subroutine, data area)
Use the D-spec keywords
See D-Spec Keywords
