Synopsis

"Report Program Generator is probably the highest level language used in data processing today. It is perhaps the easiest to learn, easiest to use, easiest to maintain, fastest to code, most machine-independent, problem-oriented computer language available today. It is the only business oriented programming language that is available at all levels of software support---from the smalles IBM System/360 computer Model 20 (card, disk, and tape systems) to the largest. It is also available on the IBM 1130, on all levels of RCA Spectra 70 systems, and on the Univac 9200/9300 series. On all of these systems, the language specifications are virtually identical, thus eliminating the need for major conversions when changing from one RPG system to another. This book, in fact, describes RPG for use on any of these systems. Major limitations or restrictions for specific systems, such as for the Model 20 RPG's, are mentioned throughout the text. In addition, there is a reference section describing the unique features of each RPG. The book assumes no prior computer knowledge. It is addressed specifically to the new programmer. Its primary goal is to build a knowledge of RPG on a step-by-step basic in such a way that the reader will develop a full understanding of how to write RPG programs for any computer on which it is available...."
