Paul,

If you're using a tool like Synon, about 30 seconds. Otherwise, if you can cut 'n'
paste from some template code, maybe a couple of hours.

Subj:RPG Productivity Versus Other Approaches

Hello,


We are working on a white paper which will compare RPG programming
productivity flexibility with other approaches for i5 application
development. I would be interested in feedback/insight on the following.


The #1 most used and needed programming task is development of a ?WORK
WITH? screen. This typically in RPG is a subfile with a position to
type prompt. You typically can input a search parameter(s) and get a
list of records to work with. They are used everywhere and examples
include: work with orders, work with products, work with employees,
work with customers, etc.

Once you have a list of records then #2 most required task is file
maintenance. (Edit, insert, delete one of the records in your list. )


Roughly how long does it take in RPG to create a new ?WORK WITH? and
Data maintenance application from your experience?

Thanks, Paul Holm
