What happens when and I.S. manager decides to discontinue all support for
an AS/400 and move too Oracle or NT/2000. Unfortunately RPG cant port to
those systems. The greatest asset to a programmer is to learn and become
proficient in as many languages as possible today. I personally like Java
because I have the upper hand in the hardware wars. I also think the AS/400
is far superior then any other computer on the market, but I may not be
programming on AS/400 tomorrow.

Please respond to
JAVA400-L
While I would not classify myself as an RPG biggot, I think we need to keep
in mind that a whole lot of very good, very useful code has been written in
the language. The kind of code that does it's job, and keeps chugging for
a long time. So maybe it's not flashy by today's standards... it's a real
good language.

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.
