RPG was declared a SAA or Systems Application Architecture language by IBM 
and should be available on all IBM platforms.  (However I believe that IBM 
abandoned SAA.)  Shortly after declaring RPG a SAA language they came out 
with a version of RPG for the mainframe.  I believe the entry level cost 
for just the compiler was $199,000.  Now the true SAA level of RPG was 
missing many items, like screen files, etc.  Basically enforcing that the 
R stood for REPORT.

I do not know if IBM ever did say anything about CL regarding SAA.  I 
don't think so.

I do not know enough about the mainframes to decide if there would be any 
unique enough situation that would warrant moving from an i5 to a zSeries. 
 Now, before you all snicker, wouldn't you like the PC people to have at 
least that open of a mind towards the i5 that I am expressing towards the 
zSeries?
