RE: Alternate to iSeries

Which also begs the questions:
API's?
CL?
Possible rewrite of commands like:  SNDDST, RUNQRY, etc
And I've got a few operations I'd wonder about in RPG that I am loathe to 
bring up because I wouldn't want anyone not to use them in case their boss 
goes off the deep end too and they have to worry about portability - 
especially since I don't know if they are even a valid concern.

RE: Alternate to iSeries






There are other RPG platforms...I've written on most of them, but I
don't know of one that supports RPG/IV and especially not ILE. You
might try a PC platform, like ASNA or something. Maybe VisualAge RPG on
an Intel server with DB2?
