CL is not being developed nor enhanced.  It is a very good but very 
dead-end
product. 



My own feeling is that if your design&architecture relies upon
implementation with CL you may wish to begin a re-plan for your
design&architecture.   While there is nothing wrong with CL and the many
solutions it offers we've learned from experience that legacy code takes a
long long time to shift from one paradigm to another.



Therefore, whenever I see a product giving the first signs of it's
end-of-life, I start thinking about other choices.  A 15-year cycle only
seems like a long time during the first 13 years.  :)

Booth,



Why would you say such a thing???



How are you manipulating library lists, file member selections, and the

like? Are there APIs to do that out of RPG or COBOL? I use CL and SQL

through QMQRY all the time to update files.
