Re: 'ILE RPG' or 'RPG IV' . What's the difference!!!

[dbryant@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Correct Rob, it's RPG IV, the ILE part (from my understanding) is were the
binding, activation groups, etc ...comes in. The actual RPG coding is RPG-IV.

Rob,
No rewriting is needed to get the 'AS/400 Programmer's Handbook' up to ILE
RPG.  The book has many examples coded in ILE RPG (RPG examples below are
ILE RPG, or RPG IV).

'RPG IV' or 'ILE RPG'.  Ah, what a discussion we could have!

I recently attended a seminar hosted by Bob Cozzi, the author of 'The Modern
RPG Language', an acknowledged guru of RPG.  At the outset, he addressed the
issue:  Is it ILE RPG or RPG IV?  He stated that many people use the term
'ILE RPG' when they are actually referring to 'RPG IV'.
He gave a technical explanation of what ILE really is, referring us to the
'ILE Concepts' manual and to the ILE RPG for AS/400 Programmer's Guide, and
to the 'ILE RPG/400 Reference'.
My mind doesn't retain the particulars of his explanation, but Bob Cozzi
uses the term 'RPG IV' more than 'ILE RPG'.
What term does everyone else use?  Do you differentiate between RPG IV and
ILE RPG?  Are you aware of what each refers to?

Is this being rewritten for ILE RPG?

I recommend the AS/400 Programmer's Handbook also.
The author supplies RPG III and RPG IV code examples (listed below) that you
can upload to your AS/400.

I don't know about "on-line", but we purchased a book written by Mark McCall
named "The AS/400 Programmer's Handbook" (A Toolbox of Examples for Every
AS/400
Programmer).  It is wonderful!!  You can purchase it from Midrange
Computing. By
the way, Mark's email address is in the back of this book. I have emailed
him on
several occasions and he has always responded by the next day. He is so nice
and
very helpful.  I can't say enough good things about him or his book...
