Most of the AS/400 shops run some packaged software (JDE, BPCS,
JBA etc.) for their mission critical applications. Source code for these
apps is still RPG. Consequently, any custom mods, extensions will be
done in RPG. The programming language of choice will probably be defined
by the package vendors. Porting the apps to Java will be a major
re-write for these vendors. Will the benefits outweigh the effort??
