RE: RPG made it into the MSDN technical glossary!

does IBM recognize that C# exists? It is only the best language available

( it is free and highly functional ) for programming as400 interactive
applications.

Just curious Steve, how many other languages have you worked in with the
same depth and breadth you have with C#? The reason I am asking is because
that is quite the statement to make.

And with that said, can you connect to data queues or RPG programs
_directly_ from C#.NET (i.e. without SQL)? Can you directly access other
resources like the IFS or spool files?

Was doing some google searches and found RPG being defined in

Search for Report Program Generator to find it quickly.
