RE: RPG Textbooks

I teach RPGIV at a local community college and I use 2 textbooks for the
course

"Programming in RPG IV" by Judy Yaeger, Duke Press, ISBN 1-882419-79-0 
(This is the book that IBM's Partners In Education program is based on for
RPGIV)

"RPGIV Programming on the AS/400" by Stanley E. Meyers, Prentice Hall, ISBN
0-13-460411-3
