Re: What tools are necessary

The current example in the Information Center is written entirely in CL so
that no additional compiler is needed.

Basically, what you need is a front-end for the QPRCRTPG API. The V2R3
API manual included sample source for one written in PL/I (!!!), and
during a brief time when we had a beta-test PL/I compiler installed, I
wrote an enhanced version of it that we still use here at Touchtone. The
one in the current API manual is mixed-language, and not as elegant as
the old PL/I front-end, but neither does it require anything more exotic
than RPG or CL, as I recall.

Before I wrote our QPRCRTPG front-end (I call it CRTMIPGM), we used
something called CRTIRPPGM, that was already discontinued, unsupported,
and deprecated by the time I was hired.
