RE: Using % type functions

Take a look at the new RPGIV redbook Jon's been talking about.  It has some
very clear examples and explains the whys and the syntax well.  I guarantee
that learning the syntax of declaration (prototype), definition (procedure
code and interface), and calls is both very easy and the most difficult
part.  It's one of those things that takes more than five minutes and less
than a week.  Once you get the syntax down, you'll start thinking of all the
places you can use them.

In terms of massive usefulness, they rank right up there with your towel.
