Subject: New Stuff W/Biggest Impact


I'm doing a CISC (V3R2) to RISC (V4R5) upgrade this weekend.

I know in RPG there are what seem to be a bazillion new things.  There
is no way for me to absorb them all at once.  There are new BIFs,
integer variables, and who knows what else (I do use procedures, BTW, as
they were in V3R2).  For those of you already at V4R4 or V4R5, what RPG
improvements made the biggest impact for you?  I just want some
suggestions on what to learn first.  And second.  And third.  Thanks.
