Ping,

First, there are three flavors of RPG running on the iSeries.
- System/36 RPG.  Very little new being done in there.  I wouldn't start
studying that.
- RPG/400.  Most existing code is written in this.  There is still a lot
of new development going on in here.  Many canned packages are written in
this.
- ILE RPG.  This is where new development should be going.
Some people will get into a p!ssing contest over how I named the three
types.  I just use the titles from the IBM manuals for the languages.

There are a number of books written on these subjects.  If you want to
take advantage of the latest features I'd be a little wary of authors that
are so upset with IBM over how they implemented new features that they
won't use them - like free format RPG.  For a list of books you may wish
to try

There are a number of colleges teaching RPG throughout the world.  Don't
let the name of the html link confuse you.

IBM offers education:

Then COMMON is a great way to learn
