Hello,

Can someone direct me to a good resource that sells books that
exclusively deals with free form coding?  I see a lot of books on RPG IV
/ ILE, but all of the ones I have seen only have a small section on FF
code.

If you're already familiar with fixed format RPG, learning free format isn't very difficult. You don't need a book -- just start working in /FREE. Put the factor1 after the opcode,and add a semi-colon to the end. IF you have a question about a particular opcode's syntax, look it up in the ILE RPG reference in the infocenter.


If you're learning RPG for the first time and would prefer to learn /FREE from the ground up instead of fixed format, you're probably out of luck. I don't think anyone has written a book from this angle yet.
