Paul is largely responsible for the existence of free format RPG. He did it 10 years ago (at least) in spite of IBM. If he hadn't we'd still be coding in columns today. Smart guy, but a zealot regarding programming style. I've learned a lot from him over the years. I don't know him personally.

Does anyone know of Paul Conte? Does anyone have any opinions on his
publication on DB2/400? Are there any other well written publications
about DB2/400 (not the native flat file(non-relational) structure used
by most iSeries folks)? Any other good publications on DB2/400(again,
DB2 using DDL & DML, not flat-file(non-relational) DDS)?


Is DB2/400 still not well embraced by IDUG? Anyone know why? Is that
because it and its members doesn't see DB2/400 as a real version of DB2
or because there are not enough DB2 RDBMS applications on the AS/400
like on the other IBM platforms or is it because there is no real AS/400
community effort to convince IDUG the AS/400 is a viable DB2 platform or what?


Thanks,
