RE: QRPGSRC vs. QRPGLESRC

["Shahan, Ray" <rshahan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Because RPG 4 is very much different than RPG 3 (or RPG400 if you prefer),
and for that reason alone, it should have it's own file ( as does COBOL).
It's the reason the standard exists.

Of course, this answer is coming from a newbie...  :-)
