Course Overview
The IBM RPG IV Programming Advanced course, officially known as RPG IV Programming Advanced Workshop for IBM i (AS10G), is designed for experienced RPG IV programmers seeking to master advanced coding techniques on the IBM i platform. This course prepares learners for the IBM Certified Developer – IBM i 7.x certification and serves roles such as Senior RPG Developer, IBM i Systems Programmer, and Legacy Application Modernization Specialist. With demand for skilled IBM i professionals rising—senior RPG developers commanding salaries between $127,000 and $143,000 in 2024—this training addresses a critical skills gap in enterprises maintaining mission-critical IBM i systems.
Participants engage with core IBM technologies including ILE RPG IV, Db2 for i, IBM i APIs, C functions, XML parsing, and service programs within a hands-on lab environment using IBM i Access Client Solutions (ACS) and native development tools. Over four days, students complete 15 structured exercises, building real-world applications such as modular subfile displays with maintenance capabilities, XML-integrated programs using the %xml built-in function, and error-handling routines leveraging condition handlers. A key project involves enhancing an xml-into program to dynamically parse and process external data feeds, simulating integration scenarios common in hybrid cloud environments.
This course directly supports preparation for the IBM Certified Developer – IBM i 7.x credential, recognized across finance, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors for validating modern IBM i development expertise. Graduates gain access to a niche but high-value job market where specialized RPG IV skills command premium compensation due to talent scarcity. Koenig Solutions enhances this learning path with Guaranteed-to-Run scheduling and access to official IBM courseware, ensuring consistent delivery of vendor-authorized content. Upon completion, developers are positioned to lead legacy modernization initiatives, API enablement projects, and secure, scalable application development on the IBM i platform.
