Re: New RPG programmers

When I taught myself RPG II back in 1985, I sat down with the Reference Manual 
and converted a COBOL project I had had to write at college.  It was only a 
basic little thing, around a dozen programs that did stock reporting, inventory 
transactions and the like, but it was enough to make me think and give me a 
direction on what I needed to do to learn the language.

If the people you're going to train can program in another language, get them 
to convert something - it'll make them focus on the syntax rather than the 
methodology.

All the best
