Summary: Should be called RPG for the Java Programmer
Review: If you have RPG III or RPG/400 code or this same code that was converted to RPG IV, then this book gives you little to go on but an education in ILE programming techniques. I think that if you were a C or Java programmer trying to understand RPG IV, this book would probably be very helpful.My impression is that RPG IV should have been called RPG-C. That would have been closer to what it seems it was intended for, RPG to attract C programmers. I think that if one had their applications designed and written in ILE RPG with service programs and proceedures, etc. then this book would be helpful in learning the java language. If your programs are designed around RPG III, converted or not to RPG IV, plan on having to learn two languages as you attempt to understand Java.
