This workshop will show you how to create an RPG SDK (a set of procedures to work with/consume a web API) from scratch.

We use these tools:

• https://ileditor.dev/ - My IDE of choice. You can use any you want (RDi, ILEditor, SEU, etc)
• https://github.com/sitemule/noxDB - The JSON parsing library. Service program is also in this repo so you can restore the save file.
  1. Copy jsonxml.pkg to IFS
  2. CPYFRMSTMF FROMSTMF('jsonxml.pkg') TOMBR('/QSYS.LIB/PUNKAPI.LIB/PACKAGE.FILE') MBROPT(*REPLACE) CVTDTA(*NONE)
  3. RST DEV('/QSYS.LIB/PUNKAPI.LIB/PACKAGE.FILE') OBJ(('/QSYS.LIB/PUNKAPI.LIB/JSONXML.SRVPGM'))
