Of course, RPG is dying. No one is teaching it anymore and all the
young people coming out of school are learning Java and C#, object
oriented programming languages. ILE RPG is a good language but it is
still a structured programming language and what you can do is
limited. I love writing ILE RPG but the future and really the present
are object oriented languages.

Also, RPG is dying simply because most of the people working on it are
still writing monolith RPG. It has been 20 years and ILE RPG has still
almost no penetration. 5%, !%?

Hi,

There is some talks going on in Sri Lanka among some developers they say
RPG is dying and IBM is no longer invsting on it.

But I know that is not the case, sad thing is Sri Lankan IBM also saying
rpg is dying and their support is 0 on RPG. Infact they do nothing for us
who is in this arena (no events no seminars nothing)

May b this is being discussed in this list but I like to get some more
details on the subject especially I like to hear some thing on this from
Barbara Morris, Scott, Aaron Bartell, John and Susan or any one who knows
about this.

Thanks
