this statement could apply to the entire rpg language. my last two
contract jobs have been 90% sql procedures and pc based reporting
tools. ( not entirely true. I wrote something that automated the
qsysopr msgq and that was all rpg and cl )

when you add asp.net to the mix and maybe host integration server to
integrate the as400 database into sql server, you need RPG even less.
in the setting where asp.net is used for interactive displays and sql
procedures handle database transactions, rpg is relegated to a minor
role of system management type applications.
