RE: Looking for Old Training Material

Jon,
Jon,

Wouldn't it make more sense to do a straight conversion to RPG IV in compatibility mode of the existing code? It is 100% compatible and doesn't require the trainee to waste time learning completely obsolete topics.

I know, I can speak, propose and try to persuade, but finally it is not my decision!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards

Hi guys,



I'm looking for old training material for a new trainee, respective

* IBM i/AS400 Basics/Administration
* DDS described files
* CL
* RPGIII



I have only training material for all the new subjects (RPGIV incl.
Full Free, ILE concepts, SQL).



But the company where the trainee works still has a lot of old CLP and
RPGIII programs (incl. RPG Cycle).

Before the application can be modernized, it is necessary that the
trainee can read, understand and fix bugs in the current application programs.



So I’m looking for old training materials the trainee can work through.

Someone still has those old training materials and is willing to share
them with me.

I’d be really happy.



P.S. I don’t want to start a discussion about legacy applications.

IMHO it is important that they understood (may be a little late, but
better late than never!) modernization with fresh blood is necessary.

But the 2 worlds need to understand each other.
