Mr. Williams,
I read Howard Weatherly's reply. I agree with
his thoughts with reservation as to style. I'd rather have an example than
to talk about style. Also, style can be modified to the policies and
procedures of the individual shop. I believe that some of the questions
should include questions about the files (PRTF, DSPF, PF, LF, and Joined
LF). These questions should include questions about the Copy DDS
function and Subfiles. Another area that is becoming more popular is
embedded SQL statements. Debug questions (both STRDBG and
STRISDB) will help to identify good canidates. Questions that help
you to identify if the person knows the AS/400 (and not just Cobol) would be
very benificial. Questions about Job Scheduler, Sub-Systems (interactive
vs. batch), how to indentify problems, how they would identify and solve the
problems are good methods as well. A good programmer will know the system
and how to utilize to it's strength.
If you need specific questions, let me know what
areas you need to concentrate on.
Good luck!
Scott Nance
