RPG has evolved — fast. This session shows you the modern language updates and techniques that make today’s IBM i development cleaner, sharper and dramatically easier to maintain. From fully free‑format coding to embedded SQL and contemporary modular patterns, you’ll see what “modern RPG” really looks like in 2026. We’ll also go beyond the language itself and show how to combine RPG with ILE to get maximum return from the platform. By structuring applications with service programs, activation groups and modular design, you’ll learn how to build faster, more reliable and more maintainable solutions that deliver real business value. If you want to sharpen your skills, modernise your applications and help your organisation get more from IBM i, this session gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward.
