| With the V5R1 release of RPG IV, IBM has "liberated" the language. In this session we will explore the essentials of /free-form coding including:
- The basic syntax rules of /Free RPG (or "How I learned to love the semi-colon")
- The new Built-in-Functions designed to replace unsupported operation codes, including the new BIFs to manipulate dates and times
- Coding alternatives for the defunct MOVE operation
- New operations you can ONLY use in /Free form
