if this is true and stays true, then the as400 will die in a short time.
Nobody in the world outside of as400 shops writes any application using rpg
and they know why not. rpg is some kind of workaround and it took years until
it grew to a computer language, but the great disadvantage is: every shit
(yes I mean shit) ever programmed in rpg runs today without any change.
