Jon,
I have thought about the redbook, but it is such an old version that I'm
reluctant to recommend it. Among other things, I'm a fervent proponent of
/free and things like BIFs and such that I find it very difficult to go
back to old code (And I know about OLD code. I began programming in
RPGabout 1977).
BTW, I seem to remember a surname of "Paris" in the author's roster list
:-) Don't you have the clout to get IBM bring out a new version of the
book? :-)
Best Regards,
Luis

There's always the "good ole" RPG Redbook - pretty good place to start as--
it has a bit of everything. Written for V4R2 (?) I think so a fair bit has
changed - but it was partly written to show RPGers how and why they should
make the switch to RPG IV. Everything in there from soup to nuts.

Scott Klement has a nice intro to ILE in his website ( http://www.
scottklement.com ). It's a little bit dated, so if you check IBM's
Infocenter you can download the RPGLE reference manuals and check any
enhancements for the OS version you are running currently. Also, get a
of the ILE RPG Programmer's Guide (Infocenter).wrote:
If you haven't done so already, I would strongly suggest you learn
SQLboth, as standalone apps (Procedures, functions, etc) and as
related to
RPG ("Embedded SQL"). Go the /free route (forget all that columnar stuff
:-) )
And, as I am sure you already know: Practice, practice!!
HTH,

I was a programmer quite some time ago, as a matter of fact I last
backon
RPG400. With the limited opportunities for admins, I'm looking to get
mailing listinto programming. Can anyone suggest books or training that I can use to--
get
back up to speed. I have not worked ILE at all.
Thanks,
Joe Murfitt
