ILE RPG enhancements - threads
Ability to run concurrently in multiple threads:
– When THREAD(*CONCURRENT) is specified on the Control specification of a
module
– Multiple threads can run in the module at the same time.
– By default, static variables will be defined so that each thread will have its
own copy of the static variable. This makes them thread-safe.
– Individual variables can be defined to be shared by all threads using
STATIC(*ALLTHREAD). These variables are not thread-safe, by default.
– D sharedFld
S
10A
STATIC(*ALLTHREAD)
– A procedure can be serialized so that only one thread can run it at one time,
by specifying SERIALIZE on the Procedure-Begin specification.
– P serialProc

ILE RPG enhancements – main without cycle
Ability to define a main procedure which does not use the RPG cycle
 MAIN keyword on the H specification designates one subprocedure as
being the main procedure, that is, the procedure that gets control when
the program gets called.
 Other than being the program-entry procedure, the main subprocedure
is like any other subprocedure. It does not use the RPG cycle.
 The prototype for the main subprocedure must have the EXTPGM
keyword; the main subprocedure can only be called by a program call.

ILE RPG enhancements – local files

 Local F specifications follow the Procedure-begin specification and precede the
Definition specifications.
– P writeRecs
– Foutfile
– D data
o
– C
– P writeRecs
b
e
disk
ds
write
likerec(rec)
rec
data
e
 I/O to local files can only be done with data structures. There are no I and O
specifications for local files.
 By default, the storage associated with local files is automatic; the file is closed
when the subprocedure returns normally or abnormally.
 The STATIC keyword indicates that all invocations of the procedure will use the
same open file. If the file is open when the procedure returns, it will remain open
for the next call to the procedure.

ILE RPG enhancements – avoid compile-time overrides (F)
EXTDESC keyword and EXTFILE(*EXTDESC)
 EXTDESC keyword
– Identifies the file to be used for an externally-described file (at compile time).
 The filename is specified as a literal in one of the forms
'LIBNAME/FILENAME' or 'FILENAME'.
– FoutputF
o
e
disk
extdesc(‘MYLIB/MYFILE’)
 This removes the need to provide a compile-time override for the file.
 EXTDESC can be used to solve the problem where a record format has the
same name as the file. When EXTDESC is used to locate the file, then any
name can be used as the RPG-internal name for the file.
 The EXTFILE keyword is enhanced to allow the special value *EXTDESC,
indicating that the file specified by EXTDESC is also to be used at runtime.

ILE RPG enhancements – larger fields
Larger limits for data structures, and character, UCS-2 and graphic
variables:
 Data structures can have a size up to 16,773,104.
 Character definitions can have a length up to 16,773,104. (The limit is 4
less for variable length character definitions.)
 The LEN keyword can be used instead of the Length entry to define the
length of a variable or DS
 UCS-2 and Graphic definitions can have a length up to 8,386,552 doublebyte characters. (The limit is 2 less for variable length definitions.)
 The VARYING keyword allows a parameter of either 2 or 4 indicating the
number of bytes used to hold the length prefix. A parameter of 4 is required
if the defined length is over 65535.

ILE RPG enhancements - %ADDR for varying data
%ADDR(varying_field : *DATA)
 The %ADDR built-in function is enhanced to allow *DATA as the second
parameter to obtain the address of the data part of a variable length field.

ILE RPG enhancements – new UCS-2 rules
Relaxation of some UCS-2 rules
 The compiler will perform some implicit conversion between character, UCS2 and graphic values, making it unnecessary to code %CHAR, %UCS2 or
%GRAPH in many cases. This enhancement is also available through PTFs
for V5R3 and V5R4.
 Implicit conversion is now supported for
– Assignment using EVAL and EVALR
– Comparison operations in expressions and using fixed form operations IFxx,
DOUxx, DOWxx, WHxx, CASxx, CABxx, COMP.
– Note that implicit conversion was already supported for the conversion operations
MOVE and MOVEL.

ILE RPG enhancements – reduce module size
Eliminate unused variables from the compiled object:
 New values *UNREF and *NOUNREF are added to the OPTION
keyword
– For the CRTBNDRPG and CRTRPGMOD CMDs, and for the OPTION keyword on
the Control specification.
 The default is *UNREF.
 *NOUNREF
– Indicates that unreferenced variables should not be generated into the RPG
module.
– Reduces program size
– If imported variables are not referenced, it can reduce the time taken to bind a
module to a program or service program.

Collaboration Challenges with Enterprise teams
How can see the status of
all of my teams in one
place?
High Complexity
Why are some teams not
following our agreed upon
process?
Our enterprise
development teams
working on different
platforms are struggling
to communicate. How
can we collaborate in
the context of our work
Low Complexity
How can we verify that all
of the components of an
enterprise application have
been built properly?
How are our fellow teams
in other platforms
organized? Who is
working on what?
Why and when was this
code change made?
We need to deploy an
enterprise application to our
System z, System i, and Unix
servers. How can we
coordinate that deployment?
Distributed software development teams across the
hall or spread around the world face similar challenges
The build was broken by
another team, how can
our team repair w/o
waiting
