I once (and only once) wrote the (in)famous "Hello World" program in Java. But only after sitting through a class (no pun intended).

Adam already indicated that the question was ill-formed. Did the program compile, or is the compilation crashing? If the program compiled, what error message(s) do you get?

As far as the rules are concerned, the RPG Manual might be a good place to start; in fact, next to Barbara, Simon, and Scott, it's the gospel. For V5R4 you can download a copy of the manual and various other useful reference guides. If you are just learning RPG (any flavor) the manual is a lousy place to start.

Hope this helps.
