Jon,

I agree, i'm not the target for OA.

You say, OA is the target for those who dosn't want to learn new tricks -
do you really
know your own argument? Mobile phone APPS or web applications can't be
made without
learning new tricks and/or understanding the interface - you can't design
a mobile app based
on knowledge of interface that is basically based on S/36 formats and
dialog!

RPG programmer just like in JAVA C and other languages.

And may I point out that RPG OA is very much like ICF programming and I
don't think you can find 1 % RPG programmers that actual can make a ICF
program.

I really don't want to disagree with you Henrik but all this really
proves is that you are not the target audience. But then we knew that
before you wrote.

The target audience is RPGers who don't want to have to learn all the
various APIs etc. they want to be able to be able to do it as easily as
they can handle a 5250 screen or a printer file or ...

Instead of sniping why don't you write some handlers that interface with
your web, xml, web service, etc. tooling and make it _easier_ for others to
do the things you do so well. Of course OA won't make it easier to do these
things by itself - but people like Look, Profound and Asna have all proved
it can be done.

And the ICF bit - please - give me a break.
