The tutorial is structured to introduce you to IBM VisualAge RPG and Cooperative Development Environment for AS/400 (CODE/400) quickly and easily. We provide you with two sets of exercises.
The host exercises are a set of exercises where you will use CODE/400 to create a server application.
The client exercises are a set of exercises where you will use VisualAge RPG to create a graphical user interface to the server application.
The exercises are numbered and should be done in order to create the sample application.
Start with the CODE/400 exercises first and then follow with the VisualAge RPG exercises. Why? By using CODE/400 first you will create a server application. Then when you continue with the VisualAge RPG exercises you will use the result of the previous CODE/400 exercises to create a client/server version using a visual development environment.
