RE: iSeries 25% Growth 3rd Quarter

I'll try to be to be constructive, so let me offer a suggestion:

Change your main driver source to C or RPG (or other HLL).  Compile all your
CL sources into ILE modules.  Compile your C or RPG driver source into a
module.  Bind them all into a single program. 
You get all the benefits of CL (LOGCLPGM, ease of command calls, error
handling via MONMSG etc.) and all the benefits of HLL having subroutines
that do special tasks, use of embedded SQL to your heart's content (yes, you
can call SQL stored procedures via "exec sql CALL MYSTOREDPROC"), etc.

Opinion:
Even though CL is compiled into an object, I still think of it as scripting
language.  If I need to do something "complex", I use an HLL (in my case C).
Just one way I keep myself out of troubles you're faced with today, not that
I don't get myself into other pickles :)

bad choice Michael! because, then I lose the LOGCLPGM feature of CL. 
We were working on a problem with one of the vendor feeds yesterday. 
This is a large sysytem and I dont have access to the production
partition. operations emailed me the 50 page joblog and I was able to
track down the problem.  If I had used RPG as you suggest that would
not have been possible.
