Having programmed in RPG II, RPG III, ILE RPG, COBOL, CL, Awk, Visual Basic,
Delphi, Java, C, SYNON and SQL, I would NEVER pick RPG as my first choice!

Yuk.

When IBM FINALLY sees the light and makes ILE RPG COMPLETELY free-format, THEN
I'd be inclined to lean that way.

(I do admit, however, the ILE RPG is a VAST improvement over any previous
incantations)
