What about something simple like address book functionality? Vendors,
Customers, and Employees all have the same core requirements of a name
and address. In an OO language you would write the address book
object once, then drop it in as a base struct in the vendor, customer
and employee data struct. You cant do that in RPG ( or ILE ).
Your talking programming technique here ... not program function.
There's no reason in the world you can't write a address book program in
RPG (heck, I'd bet a majority of us have done so). Five will get you
ten you could write it faster in RPG than Java. Heck, it would probably
execute faster too (on an iSeries at least).
Keep in mind folks, the statement that Michael made was "one can do
anything in RPG that they can do in any other language". This is
talking about function, not technique. To be sure you don't do it the
same WAY in RPG as you would in, say, Java ... but you can certainly do
the same functions.
