RE: System API QlnDumpCobol

The COBOL is much the same and you experience is not wasted, but there are some different ways of doing things, The COBOL Guide and Reference are as much as you should need but any book on COBOL-85 or COBOL/II will help with the additions to the Language. The environment might be culture shock though and the best way to learn that is to try things (assuming you have that luxury) otherwise, IBM has excellent courses available, here is a good place to start looking http://www-3.ibm.com/services/learning/

Bruce:
I have a ton of Cobol and RPGII experience, but none in the AS400
environment.  My experience has been  'Legacy', using IBM, NCR, TI, and
Unisys(Burroughs).  Is Cobol that much different in the AS400 environment
than it is elsewhere?  What resources are available to 'Educate' one for
smooth transition into the AS400 environment.  I appreciate any response.
Thanx.
