This new edition of The Modern RPG IV
Language is packed with new information including new,
never-before published information on coding free-format RPG IV.
Chapter 12 delves into free-format in detail as
he discusses MOVE alternatives, date and time conversions,
data structures, and more. And to give you
even more exposure to free-format, he has converted
many of the examples throughout the book to
free-format code. Add to that XML, CGI, and
subprocedure information, and you have a book that
no "modern" RPG programmer can be without.
Even with
all the new material, the basic concept of
the book remains the same. As with previous
editions, The Modern RPG IV Language, 4th Edition
takes you through RPG IV, from its foundation
to its most advanced techniques. At the core
of this book are its chapters on built-in
functions and op codes. In these chapters, Cozzi
details each built-in function and op code with
syntax tables that give you all the information
you need at a glance plus examples to
help you as you code.
This is much more
than just a book on rules, however. Bob
includes more than 400 charts and tables to
show how those rules apply and provides more
than 500 real-life code examples of functions and
operations. You'll turn to this book again and
again as you program in RPG IV. It
is the quintessential reference for every RPG programmer.
