In this short How To …. On IBM i Video set, we will be taking a look at how to show the BBC news feeds in a RPG program using embedded SQL.
We will be using the DB2 for IBM i HTTP Services to get the news feeds and then format them so our RPG program can display them/
Check out our Git Hub repository for all the source code, RPG, SQL and the display file, and lots more. It can be found at https://github.com/AndyYouens/f_Learning
