Ny apologies - Jerry is right, single quotes instead of double quotes is
correct.

For one thing, the double quotes are not valid; should be single quotes.
Which would result in a compile error. There should be a compilation
listing somewhere; try using WRKSPLF.

If the abend was a result of an executing program, there would have been an
error message (usually a CPFxxxx). In that case, position the cursor to
the error message, press F1 and display the message details. Frequently
there are preceding messages which tell the "real" story; pressing F10
(display job log) will display your current job's log.

That's the Reader's Digest version. Go from there.

I once (and only once) wrote the (in)famous "Hello World" program in

Java. But only after sitting through a class (no pun intended).

Adam already indicated that the question was ill-formed. Did the program

compile, or is the compilation crashing? If the program compiled, what
error message(s) do you get?

As far as the rules are concerned, the RPG Manual might be a good place

to start; in fact, next to Barbara, Simon, and Scott, it's the gospel. For
V5R4 you can download a copy of the manual and various other useful
reference guides. If you are just learning RPG (any flavor) the manual is
a lousy place to start.

Hope this helps.
