C'mon guys.  RPG is a good procedural tool for data base access.  It's like
Fortran and Cobol--ancient and probably has a long future.  Doesn't mean
that it's the best tool for everything.  Having a procedural mindset, I find
it a lot easier than SQL for a lot of things, particularly subtotals and
crosstabs, but despite my boss' version of Tetris, it's not a real good
language for video games or image manipulation.
