Too bad I didn't get to hook up with you at COMMON.  Met some of the 
people on the list there.  Charging for RPGIII I don't think is a good 
idea.  Dropping enhancements to the compiler, etc, should get people to 
move quickly, if they don't then that's about all you can do isn't it? You 
can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.  And charging him 
to stay away from the pond is only going to make him mad lol.

Subject
RPGIII to get a facelift?






I spent one day at COMMON last week and talked with several of the IBM
Canada RPG IV developers.  One of the questions that was asked was if IBM
could/should start charging for the RPGII and RPGIII compilers (some 
people
call RPGIII, "RPG400").

Anyway, I suggested that IBM should enhance RPG IV with two new features:

1) Allow blank lines in the source code
2) Support the compiler parameters in the H spec, and translate those 
parms
when the CVTRPGSRC command is used.

Without leading your responses: I'm wondering if you feel charging for
RPGIII would help/encourage you to move to RPGIV more aggressively?

-Bob
