Re: Interesting Find

Dan,

Thanks for the link, it brought back a lot of memories. Those HP sure had a
nice "2001" look, more so compared to the nonsense, industrial design of
the S/3x line.

A couple of pages downward there is an advertisement for decollators and
paper busters from TAB. We had a couple of the products in the ad and I
spent some time in front of them...

Best regards,

The HP 3000 was supposed to be the IBM mini killer, if my memory serves

Jim,

"Back in the days" several system providers offered their own RPG

dialect

in order to, I guess, wrest away IBM customers. In the '80s, the

company

I

worked for flirted for a little time with the idea of porting our S/34
programs and data to other companies. Right now I remember Wang and HP
(don't know if we checked Unisys). Regarding HP, what I remember is

that

the programming environment was more flexible, with better debugging
facilities and easier to design display files.

Just googling around a little I found this old document:

Thanks for the memories. :-)

Best Regards,

I was doing some Google to find an example of how to code something

and

stumbled on this:

https://public.support.unisys.com/aseries/docs/clearpath-mcp-16.0/pdf/860007

42-103.pdf
Unisys Report Program Generator (RPG) dated 2008.
I skimmed through it quick (out of curiosity) some of the examples

look

like
RPGII code. Thought some of you might find this interesting.
