Kind of depends on what your employer is wanting you to do.

Do they want you to do maintenance on legacy RPG applications(Fixed format,
subroutines, global variables, etc).

If they are wanting you to write new applications you are going to need to
learn modern RPG(Procedures, Modules, Service Programs);

There are no other programmers you can talk to?

What kind of languages where you exposed in school? Modern RPG is very C
like..

My name is Brent and I was recently hired by a wholesale distribution
company as a computer programmer. I am a recently graduated software
development student and RPG was not a language covered in my curriculum.

I have been searching and searching for any training materials or tutorials
in RPG and have found little to no information available. I purchased Jim
Buck's textbook *Programming in RPG IV, Fourth Edition*. This book is
helpful to a point. But, I feel without a classroom structure as a
companion, I am very limited in what learning I can accomplish.

Having said all of that, do you know of anywhere I can learn RPG IV in an
RDi environment?
If this is not the place for this type of question, I apologize. I'm kind
of running out of enthusiasm for RPG...

Thanks,

Brent
