No RPG, No IBM i unless you're going to write in COBOL, PHP, CL and OPNQRYF and C as you mentioned :-)

We're already to a point where our old friend is an OS, not a machine.

Give me an Intel version and it can run next to my Windows and Linux VMs :-)

subject: What would you do without RPG?

The question about an RPGLE compiler for other platforms triggered some thoughts. But I didn't want to hijack that other thread to raise them.

This question is only hypothetical, because I'm sure that IBM will continue to support and enhance ILE RPG for as long as IBM supports IBM i.

This question is more about your dependence upon or perhaps even love for the RPG language vs. your dependence upon or love for the IBM i platform.

If IBM were to abandon support for RPG, would you abandon IBM i? Does RPG mean that much to you?

As much as I like RPG, my answer is that given NO ILE RPG, I would probably convert my ILE RPG code to ILE C, in order to continue supporting and deploying under IBM i.

In some ways, it feels like I'm already there. We are using procedures and service programs to such a great extent that it feels like we could do without op codes without much heartburn.

We rely so heavily on a framework of API's, that we might just continue the interface specifications, except write them using ILE C.

What are your thoughts?

Nathan.
