4.0 out of 5 stars
Good reference book or RPG IV,
By Shahid Rao (mashahid@att.net) (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Modern RPG IV Language, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
Good book for reference purpose for intermediate to advance programmers - alphabetically arranged all RPG code + more. Not recommended for learners. And a little expensive.

This review is from: The Modern RPG IV Language (Paperback)
Wow.
I am new to the AS/400 and RPG (I've been a programmer since the 70's). After using several other books to try and learn RPG IV, I found this one. What a treasure. It is well written, well organized and tells you what you need to know when you need to know it! It is a good reference book for a beginner and the examples are understandable. If you are starting in RPG and need a pathway to RPG ILE this is the book.
