RE: conversion to ILE

[Joel Fritz <JFritz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This describes my shop almost exactly.  One guy bought a book which we
passed around.  It's shocking, but the IBM manuals are pretty good,
particularly the general ILE manual.  (I can't believe I just said that.)  A
year after we started using RPGIV for all new development, some of us got to
go to a Brian Meyers one day class.

We don't use ILE much, but it's more an problem of setting housekeeping
standards (we've never had the meeting) than anything else.

At my site, we did the following:
Started using RPGIV with no special training. We first converted RPGIII
programs with the CVT... command. Most of the changes , we learned from the
midrange and news400 magazine. I also used an ibm toturial (on 2 disquette)
that help by showing side by side the difference between RPG III and IV
(sorry, i dont have that program anmore and i dont remember its name).
Currently, we use RPGIV but we do not use ILE (everything is compiled with
activation group *CALLER). The syntax of RPGIV is easy but my people have
more trouble with the ILE concept.

RPGIV/ILE as a step toward client server/OO thinking

how about a pointer to where I can find comments on :

procedures taken
education available
what to avoid ....
