FYI- RPG was created to generate reports. That language is being used at my place of employment. It is an old language and there are very few programmers who know this language. If you are to learn the language doors will open for you in established environments like some school districts, warehouse places, etc. RPG III is definitely a lot different than we are used to, but RPG IV is free form and looks like java or VB. I would not learn anymore of this language unless I had to. In the fact that it has a dieing group of programmers and becoming a dead language I would agree that it is one of the worst languages to learn. Only if there is a significant benefit to learning it would I pick up another book.

Well, I worked with a homebrewed computer at JPL. There were no [cross]compilers for it, so we did everything in Assembler. It had no subroutine call in the instruction set. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
