About the Author

An RPG programmer since 1978, Bob Cozzi is the author of several books on the AS/400, including The Modern RPG Language with Structured Programming--the most widely-used RPG reference manual in the world. In 1981, he began publishing and editing the first of what was to be several System/3X publications, including Q38 Technical Journal and Midrange magazine. Now retired from the magazine business, Bob divides his time between developing computing products and aerospace R & D. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good reference book or RPG IV, October 19, 1999
Good book for reference purpose for intermediate to advance programmers - alphabetically arranged all RPG code + more. Not recommended for learners. And a little expensive.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
