Re: Cobol executable Program running on and AS/400 with RPG on it.

The JobScope software was done with COBOL/400. I once spoke with one of the
programmers at the software company. It was ported over from the HP platform
version of COBOL, and "enhanced" with DDS, etc. I know they're not internal
files because I was able to build all kinds of reports over the database
with the SEQUEL product from Advanced Systems Concepts.
