Abstract :
Mr. Loschetter´s book on RPG covers a very wide area of programming even though it is limited to the general IBM Systems/360, 370, and System/3 machine configurations. The text follows much the same outline that is present within the IBM publications on RPG. The vast majority of the examples figures can be found within the current IBM RPG publications for the various levels of the language. Although the IBM description of the structure and capabilities of RPG is followed throughout the publication, the author has taken the enhanced qualities of the IBM RPG II level and merged these into the proper areas of discussion.
