That was a great book, albeit not written for RPG IV - but that is easy enough to convert over, IMO.

The best thing about it might be, that it is the only real documentation

on UIM - of which many of us use the help panel groups.

There used to be a book called "Application Development by Example".

It

went through baby steps creating a PF with DDS, screens, programs etc

with

RPG. It was for RPG400 and covered the basics of SEU, PDM, etc. Was quite good. But seriously dated.

With IBM's push away from 5250 I can't see them refreshing this. Even

if

they covered RDi instead of SEU and PDM. Anyone else may have an

agenda

based on their 'style' and preferences.

Back when I taught a dos 3.? class I had to cover both the command

line

and the primitive pre-Windows GUI stuff for everything. Basically

doubled

the time it took to teach anything.
