RE: Getting started with Code/400

Rob,

I'm going to invest in a copy of Violaine Batthish's book for my shop:

Seems like a good place to start!

Subject: Getting started with Code/400


Well, my boss went to COMMON and came back quite enamored with Code/400.
Isn't it funny how sometimes it takes someone from the outside to turn on
the light switch?  I suppose it's my fault for not learning it on my own
and doing the razzle-dazzle myself.  Anyways...

What are your suggestions for getting started?  Do we pour through manuals,
get an ATS course, hire a trainer to come on site, or what?

When we started doing RPGLE we hired a trainer to come on site for a few
days.  We have a training room with 10 PC's in it set up.

I want to make sure that we come away with a thorough understanding of
Code/400.  For example an article in Midrange Computing went on about REXX.
Said that you can't do the equivalent of F15 to change all the dates - you
had to write a rexx macro.  So do you think we'll need at least some
introductory in that?
