Re: RPG training

Patty,

I just wanted to add that if you decide to take the 'look at some code and 
learn how RPG verbs map to COBOL verbs' method, feel free to post 
questions that may come up on this list.  You will find the list members 
very helpful, particularly if your questions are along the lines of "Here 
is some code, this is what the documentation says, but I'm a bit confused 
by this part".

I came from a C++/Java/various scripting languages background, and I think 
it is probably quite feasible to learn the syntax by reading example code 
and trying out some programs.

Good luck,
Adam

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
