I took it from Clay's response that the book was clear . "... that section is there just in case you run into those functions later on. ... ." In 1998 that was highly likely.

Is a "Sorcerer's guide" a better choice for Clay to learn? Or is that aimed at intermediate & advanced students?

Clay - that represents a very old (very, very old) version of the RPG IV language and frankly you are doing yourself no favours using that version to teach yourself the language. Even if a lot of programmers are still writing code like it was 1998.

Try and find a more up-to-date version - it will be worth the effort.

Hi Vern and Jon,

I don't see a version or edition on this book, but it is dated 1998.

In chapter 5, they talk about "traditional RPG arithmetic operations",
but also say that section is there just in case you run into those
functions later on.

Thanks again to everyone who replied!
