This course is designed to provide students with a more complete understanding and practical usage of ECL and IPF. Participants will discuss actual ECL runstreams from the participant’s site. The ECL portion of this class is heavy discussion based on live examples. In addition, certain standard, more complex ECL statements are discussed. Attendees will be requested to provide ECL runstreams prior to the start of class. The IPF portion of the course will provide participants to expand their abilities with IPF. Participants learn to use IPF to streamline daily or periodic tasks, as well as, learning to write commands in IPF with discussion and hands-on exercises.
