Patty -

If you're a COBOL programmer, you'll do fine as an RPG/IV programmer. Just
need to learn the different verbs (Eval vs. Compute, ExSr vs. Perform, Read
with some blather vs. Chain).

Thank you to all.
I am currently a COBOL programmer.  My company has converted to use the
parent company's AS400.  They are strictly an RPG shop, and I've been
asked to find classes to get me up and going in RPG.  I will check into
all suggestions that have been given!
Thanks again.
Patty

Are people confused? She doesn't want to learn RPG III, she just wants
to
learn RPG IV. The only classes she has found is for the old timers who
know
RPG III and want to know RPG IV.

I would do what some have mentioned which is a local college then maybe
a
converence or a book. RPG isn't really hard, if you have some good
examples
to start with you can get a good start quickly. Assuming you have some
programming expirience.
