RPG 101 Ep1 - Basic old fashioned AS400 RPG Hello World Example

RPG. As the younguns would say "The OG".
The original RPG, RPG3 or RPG400...... YES, YES I know there were earlier versions which were written with twigs, old bits of rock and trails in the sand but for this demo we are going to write a very VERY simple RPG program from the AS400 age.

Hi Mr. Litten, I have no words to thank you on this video that is helping me to start studing RPG. I worked as consultant for a software company, and now I am managing a Bank application written complettly in RPG.
In 15 years my company never given me the oportunity to learn this program languange, but my curiosity made me go further.
I am now gathering information to start a beautiful journey trhough RPG knowledge and I am counting with your amazing videos! Thanks a lot!

I want to say thank you for starting you're uploads again, I've been in a WMS/AS400 2004RD Environment For over 7 years and have done off and on Wave Planning. Thses Videos are so insightful and helpful to how WMS Mangers may start from the ground up. What are the key differences between RPG and previous versions? Do they use the autoecl library or do you have to build all that functionality with Visual Basic?

I think it's a waste of time showing RPG/400 to new people.
