Re: Optimistic RPG request...

2 things: 
1-get a copy of Code/400.  It has everytthing but the compile option. It
even verifies and has the Reference Manuals on the CDs.   Learning it would
expand your skill set.
 2-ask around.  there's plenty of AS400s that will let you have an account
for your own use at nominal costs.

Subject: Optimistic RPG request...
 
I have been unemployed for sometime.  One of the last things I got
before being made redundant was a programming in RPG/400 tutorial book.
I was wondering, in a mad fit of optimism, is there such a thing as a
freeware PC RPG compiler that I can use to teach myself with?  I just
need it to be 'stand alone' on the PC - I don't have an AS/400 lying
around in the garage.  It doesn't even need to generate executable
programs - just check my syntax and confirm that the program would work.
OK, I know I'm pushing my luck, but sometimes to get pertinent answers
you have to ask impertinent questions!!!
As I'm here, a general thank you to all the posters throughout the years
who have helped my SQL come on in leaps and bounds - at least that is
something I can practise on my PC!
