>> Whatever the level is, there are two of them:  One is defined by what is
existing and/or likely to actually be developed by IBM; and one is more of a
wish-list (or dream-list...;-).

If you settle for only looking at development tools developed by IBM, and
assuming that everything else is just wishes and dreams, you're missing out on a
whole world of tools that already exist and can dramatically improve
productivity...  Check some of them out at:

Depending on your business problem, in many cases, "Which level of RPG should I
use", or "Should I shift to Java?" are the absolutely wrong questions to be
asking!!!

I can't be more specific than that, unless we narrow done the universe to talk
about specific business problems.
