Almost everything you want to do in CL is accessible to HLLs via use of 
APIs.  If you use RPG IV, it's a straightworward process to build 
prototypes of the APIs you want to use and bind them into each program that 
wants to use them.

If you're really stuck on using CL, you can easily use the same technique 
to build prototypes of your desired CL functions.  In fact, we could always 
wrap CL functions within RPG programs, even RPG III on the /38.  It's just 
more efficient to do it in RPG IV.

What CL commands would you like to use in an HLL?
