What about it?  RPG can do the same thing, Dieter.  You can just as easily
(more easily, in fact) submit multiple programs to batch to take advantage
of multiple processors.

Rather than make claims, why not just prove your point, Dieter?  Write two
programs, one in RPG, one in Java, that do the same thing.  For example,
read a record in a file, add 1 to a counter, and update the record.  Do this
10,000 times.  Time them and provide us the results and the code.
