Good book for reference purpose for intermediate to advance programmers - alphabetically arranged all RPG code + more. Not recommended for learners. And a little expensive.

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.

Robert Cozzi always writes great RPG books. This is another one of them. Excellent quick reference for programmers. Must have book.

This is an excellent reference manual for the EXPERIENCED RPG III or IV programmer. Helped tremendously in my migration from RPG III to RPG IV. Not intended as a teaching guide...strictly a reference guide.

I just started working in RPG again after not having practized RPG so much for about 7 years and decided to buy this book to refresh me.

The book is of a great help and covers all the things I wanted in it and adding to that is very well organized and it's easy to find what you are looking for.

I use this book for everyday RPGIV programming. It is so complete, and the latest edition covers Procedure, the new built-in functions and best of all, it shows you examples of how to use each of the features in the language. Every AS400 programmer should own a copy of this thing.

This book is very easy to read as the layout is very structured. It is a good reference book for RPG programmers.

If you have been writing RPG for years or are now finding that you need to learn it for a new job this book will be your best friend.

As an experienced RPG programmer I found the book to be an excellent reference book. The examples in the book clarify the written material and are very helpful when trying new things for the first time. Although the language has been out for several years many of the AS/400 programming shops are just getting into it. My first experience with the language was at the Common conference, where Robert Cozzi held sessions. I then did not get to really use the language for over a year later. This book has helped me re-learn the language and take it a few steps further with my projects at work.

I finally have a reference that is basically everything from v3r1 to v4r4 for RPG IV. Time to burn my first edition dating back to 1996. Thanks Robert Cozzi for something that was overdue!!!!
