RE: Moving to RPGIV

RPGToolbox has options for the convert to take advantage of the new stuff. 
 That's a third party we have.

RE: Moving to RPGIV






Pete,

The good news is that RPG IV can be written very much like RPGIII/400 
which makes the transition pretty easy to get underway. A simple way to 
get started is to take a program you understand and run it through 
CVTRPGSRC. This command will not take advantage of any of the nice things 
available in RPG IV (there are third party tools that will do this) but it 
does give you a decent starting place.

Matt

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 !
