RE: Recommendations for Modular Coding HOWTO

I thought the same thing.  Even in '97, DeVry was adament about modular
code.  I still come across programmers that prefer to put everything up
front.

The RedBook, "Who knew you do that with RPG IV, etc. etc.", at least the
older version, has a good chapter on this.
Actually, modular (or structured) programming was how they taught us to
write COBOL back in the 1970's.  Interesting to see it resurfacing.

All,

I'm trying to locate some reference materials to help my RPG III
programmers get a better picture of how to code in a more modular
fashion.

Materials with RPG IV examples would be great, but it seems most RPG IV
reference material is geared toward syntax instead of application
design.

Anybody have any favorites or know of training that focuses on the usage
of RPG IV instead of the syntax.

Thanks,

Charles Wilt
