FIrst I have to say, there is no dumb question here....if you don't
understand something about RPG, this list is the place to turn.  Ask the
question or send your comments, even if you think they are 'fairly
dumb'.....

There are some excellent Red Books on the subject, but it sounds like you
need to first understand the ILE programming concepts.  Programming using
the ILE concepts is different then programming using the RPGIV language.  A
good overview of both the ILE concepts and the use of the RPGIV language is
the redbook 'Who Knew You Could Do That with RPG IV?  A Sorcerer's Guide to
System Access and More' (# SG24-5402-00) and 'ILE RPG for AS/400
Programmer's Guide' (# SC09-2507-01).  They cost about $20 and $10
respectively.
