Al, come on?  Sure an RPG'er starting from scratch each and every time
will be much slower than a mediocre AS/SET programmer, but how many
RPG'ers start each and every project from the begining?  We all have
/COPY books and service programs that we use to speed up the development
process (in fact I'll bet that is all AS/SET is doing is replacing
AS/SET statements with RPG code from a code database).

You are comparing apples to oranges give the average RPG'er some
credit.
