Exactly Tom.   The same exact problem was seen in SAA/RPG.   When stripping
out those things that are OS/400 specific to make it run on 370's etc,  we
were left with little of what really makes RPG productive.

No externally defined files(DB, Printer, DSPF),  data areas ?   Qcmdexec
etc.
would anyother OS have the underpinnings and all the things surrounding
what most of RPG programs take for granted exist?
