RE: Free Form RPG Opinions Wanted

<snip>
Why use Free Form? Why not go straight to COBOL? Darn,never mind. That 
has the cumbersome A and B margins. Never mind.

/Free is your first step to getting to some real languages like Java.  <VBG>

In all seriousness though; in the event you need to learn a new language, it
is good that RPG is making transitions to programming methods that are
extremely essential.  

It is really interesting to see IBM develop a kick butt IDE for RPG (WSDc
5.0) but not allocate more compiler team members to  finishing enhancement
requests that continue to pile up.  I will continue to fill out my ballot:-)
