Re: Little rusty - suggestions?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

1)  Read the suggested redbook.  I got it in hardcopy so's that I can read 
it (wherever). 

2)  It has a section called the evolution of the RPG IV language covering 
the changes from V3R1 through V4R4.  After that I'd read the Info center 
RPG manuals studying carefully the "How this version has changed" parts, 
for all manuals since.

3)  As rusty as you are it might not be bad to bone up on the following 
manuals:

or
http://store.midrange.com/details.php?ASIN=1583470034

http://store.midrange.com/details.php?ASIN=1882419707

And there's nothing sacrilegious about reading the IBM manuals.  If you go 
to the info center at

At the left, click on Programming, RPG and then start down the list with

or

A lot of people on this list have said that the ILE Concepts is not a bad 
manual at all.
