Re: Aaron Bartell's RPG/Java comparison

Hi.

Don't be confused about Java on program binding at runtime.
It has more flexibility than RPG does for external calls....

Fellow Programmers:

The only advantages I see in RPG are (1) its ability to "ride around an
entire file on its logic cycle" (pun intended), and (2) ease of issuing
external calls where the name is not known at compile time.

Other than that, I can think of quite a few things other than "report
program generator" for the letters RPG to stand for, none of them
complimentary.
