I taught myself RPG-II on a System/36 by sitting down with the RPG manual for two weeks and converting a COBOL project. That was back in 1984 and I've never looked back

I have Cozzi's "The Modern RPG IV Language," which I use for reference occasionally. I do not think even Bob would recommend it as a tool for a beginner to learn RPG IV. That said, though, I had to learn RPG II back on the System/3 from the IBM manual, which was atrocious. There were no alternatives at the time.

Ancient book "Application Programming by Example". My copy was for V1R2.
A few things have changed since then. But it did a nice job of introducing a lot of concepts. For example, starting out in SEU to create some DDS to create a table to work with, accessing it with RPG, adding a screen, building on from there. Those kind of stepping stones.
Used to have a large library of ATS courses that started out a few of our people.

A lot of people seem to favor the books written by Bob Cozzi. I have an older 2nd edition left here by a former coworker. I've not used it.

I'm currently training another employee on the use of CL, and will
eventually be moving to RPG. If you're aware of (or wrote) any
beginner articles on CL or RPGLE, and you're willing to share, I'd
appreciate
some
links.
Thanks!
