VARPG Codegen (was threading in rpg)

 >> so VARPG probably compiles the rpg code, captures the w-code, then
translates the W-Code back to C code and compiles it on the pc?
 >> If so, is that all IBM proprietary?

I don't believe there is any conversion to C - why bother?  IBM has a w-code
to windows executable translator just as it has for iSeries.  The only time
VARPG generates source is when you select the Java build option.  The RPG is
then translated to Java which in turn is compiled in the normal way.

As to proprietary, yes it is.  Or at least the W-code spec is and without
that you won't get far with the rest of it.
