Stepping Over Call Statements, Subroutines You Can

	Stepping Through	the	Program	Object
on the	debug command line, the next	five	statements		of	your program
run, then the program object is stopped			again	and	the	Display Module
display	is shown.

When a call statement to another program or procedure is encountered session, you can:

¹	Step	over	the	call	statement, or
¹	Step	into	the	call	statement.

A call statement for ILE RPG includes any of the following operations:

¹	CALL
¹	CALLB
¹	CALLP
¹	Any	operation where there	is	an	expression in the extended-factor
	the	expression contains a	call	to	a procedure.

If you choosestep overto the call statement, then you will stay inside th procedure. The call statement is processed as a single step and th to the next step after the call. Step over is the default step m

Stepping Over Call Statements

You can step over call statements by using:

¹ F10 (Step) on the Display Module Source display

¹The STEP OVER debug command

You can use F10 (Step) on the Display Module Source display to step statement in a debug session. If the call statement to be run is another program object, then pressing F10 (Step) will cause the called object to run to completion before the calling program object is sto

larly, if the call statement		is an EVAL operation where a procedure
expression, then	the complete	EVAL operation is performed, including th
the procedure,	before the	calling program or procedure is stopped

Alternately, you can use the STEP OVER debug command to step over a statement in a debug session. To use the STEP OVER debug command, ty

on the debug command line. Thenumbervariable-of-statementsis the number of statements that you want to run in the next step before processing If this variable is omitted, the default is 1.

AS/400 specifications

The IBM AS/400, now known as the IBM iSeries, is a midrange computer system that has been a cornerstone of enterprise computing since its introduction in 1988. Designed to provide a robust platform for business applications, the AS/400 is celebrated for its reliability, scalability, and integrated database capabilities.

One of the key features of the AS/400 is its Integrated Operating Environment, which blends hardware and software resources seamlessly. This integration allows businesses to execute diverse workloads, ranging from traditional applications to modern web-based services, all on a single platform. The operating system, OS/400 (now IBM i), offers a rich set of APIs and tools for developers, simplifying application development and management.

Another standout characteristic of the AS/400 is its built-in database, DB2 for i. This powerful relational database management system allows for efficient data handling and provides advanced features such as support for SQL, XML, and JSON, making it easier for businesses to manage their data and integrate it with other systems. The database's tight integration with the operating system enables high performance and security.

In terms of scalability, the AS/400 can accommodate small businesses as well as large enterprises, with the ability to support hundreds of users simultaneously. Its architecture allows for easy upgrades in hardware, meaning that organizations can scale their systems without replacing the entire infrastructure.

Security is another critical attribute of the AS/400. With a sophisticated security model, it offers built-in user authentication, access control, encryption, and auditing capabilities to protect data and applications from unauthorized access.

The AS/400 also supports multiple programming languages, including RPG, COBOL, Java, and PHP, giving organizations the flexibility to choose the development tools that best fit their needs. This diversity helps maintain legacy applications while also developing new ones that leverage modern technologies.

Moreover, the platform supports both traditional green-screen interfaces and modern graphical user interfaces, allowing organizations to transition smoothly into contemporary user experience paradigms.

Overall, the IBM AS/400 stands out as a resilient, flexible, and secure computing platform that enables organizations to effectively manage their business operations, streamline processes, and adapt to changing market demands. Its unique combination of integrated features and capabilities ensures that it remains relevant in today's fast-paced technology landscape.
