July brings another IBM i expert who will be sharing a very unique subject with us all. The meeting is on Tuesday July 11 at 6:30 PM US Central Time .
We welcome Vern Hamberg, someone I can only describe as one who knows a lot of interesting stuff that may be a little off the path more travelled.
Presentation: There are many Magical Instruction functions, MI, that can be used in RPG programs. This does not mean that you have to learn how to program in the MI language, instead, you'll see how IBM have exposed some functions for use in high-level languages such as RPG.
- Learn what MI is
- Learn how to read the MI documentation
- Learn how to prototype MI functions
- See some useful MI functions for everyday development
Bio: Vern has worked on IBM midrange systems for over 30 years, beginning with the System/38 and AS/400. At present he is a Senior IT Developer for the Pest Elimination division at Ecolab. He also serves on the COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) and SET and is one of the SMEs for Db2. He is degreed in both music and mathematics, which gives him a distinct approach to the art and science of programming. In his spare time he participates in various musical pursuits, such as playing trumpet in a community band, singing in a pretty-good a capella choral group, working with local musical theater productions, and most recently playing keyboard in the Zuhrah Shrine Flames big band and accordion in a weekly jazz workshop – quite a stretch!
