Chapter 2  Creating an RPG Program 

You can create an RPG program using any editor or word processor that
produces a standard ASCII file.

For example, you can use EDITOR. EDITOR comes with your HP system,
produces a standard text file and is widely used for other applications.
Another popular editor is TDP. Instead of EDITOR or TDP, you may want to
use the RPG Interactive System Environment (RISE). RISE is specifically
designed for entering RPG programs and lets you use the entire screen.
It also provides interactive compiling and debugging features.

EDITOR and RISE are discussed briefly in the next two sections.
