two other trainers http://www.scoop-inc.com/ University of Miami (Florida) had a program and has had a table at recent Common Conferences - but could not find a web link IBM's Education website "should" have a list of schools with classes that are in the Partners in Education program. jim franz----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Power" <RPower@xxxxxxxxxx>

Even if you think a question is silly, still post it. You'll find the guys and gals on here very knowledgeable and helpful. I think you'll find the actual RPG syntax a breeze. It's all the non-RPG stuff that will get your grey matter working (DDS, Subfiles, APIs etc). Good luck and welcome...-----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx[mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jerry Adams Sent: 16 August 2006 18:52 To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries Subject: Re: RPG training Patty, Obviously it (the language mandate) is a corporate decision. But the COBOL compiler comes standard (i.e., no extra charge) since aboutv5r1.It just has to be installed. In fact, I frequently (daily?) threatentoinstall it here if people aren't nice to me. .-) RPG (any flavor) isn't difficult for a COBOLer. I learned RPG andthenCOBOL, which was painful because RPG does many of the things for you (such as file Open's) that you have to do yourself in COBOL. But the way many RPG IV programs are written is pretty COBOL in nature; the specification forms relate pretty closely to the Divisions in COBOL. Once you get comfortable with the fixed-format syntax, you can move to free-format version, which is even more COBOL-like (which explains all of the semi-colon "jokes" earlier). I think Bob would agree that RPGWorld is not the place to go to learn RPG to start. However, once you're comfortable (and if the company'll pick up the tab), it would be a great place to enhance your knowledge and skills. As an alternative, COMMON has many excellent RPG IV sessions with some of the same instructors with the added benefit of other iSeries topical sessions if that's important to you. But,again,neither one is the place to go to "learn" RPG, but to "enhance and expand". * Jerry C.
