Re: Preventing a divide by zero error

In 1998, the MONITOR opcode did not yet exist. The RPG language has changed quite a bit since 1998, I would consider looking for a newer book, if I were you.

However, the IF opcode has been there since RPG IV was originally released, and since it's one of the most basic things you do (in any programming language) it should be covered! How does the book explain conditioning things? Does it use the RPG III versions (IFEQ, IFLT, IFGT) or the RPG II (COMP)?

Hi Vern and Jon,

I don't see a version or edition on this book, but it is dated 1998.

In chapter 5, they talk about "traditional RPG arithmetic operations",
but also say that section is there just in case you run into those
functions later on.

Thanks again to everyone who replied!
