Re: Moving to RPGIV

I found the easiest way to learn the basics of RPGIV is take one of your 
programs that you know best, convert it to RPGIV and then review the 
source.  Do this a few times and you'll have the basics at least.  Easier 
to read your own code converted then to identify what someone else is 
trying to do.

Moving to RPGIV






OK, OK, Uncle!!!!

I have to start moving to RPG IV from my "comfortable" RPG III.  I already
do quite a bit of work in Java and have done stuff in C++ so, how hard can
this be, right?  What I'd like to is find out how best to make the jump in
the quickest, most painless way.  Most of the programming examples posted
are in RPG IV so I REALLY need to move.

I am not a "classically trained" programmer, so an approach or reference
that is short on theory and long on practical examples is what I am after.
If you had to choose one, and at most, two resources, which would you
choose?

Thanks.   Looking forward to RPG IV !
