  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?

  in short, the answer is no. basically CL, this dialect of RPG, DDS,
  etc.,

  are basically unique to this o/s...at least as far as I'm aware...
