I didn't meant i want an OO version of RPG.
Just that it needs to have some basic structures/operations
to be called a great "business language".
RPG is a "great business language", but the operative word there is "language", which makes it hard to compare with Java. Java is a language, a framework, a virtual machine, and nearly a stand-alone platform in and of itself. The scope of RPG is more narrowly defined.
When programmers complain that RPG doesn't have Map or Hash objects, I often suggest that they write ones themselves and add them to their own frameworks. If they like, offer a license to others. Isn't that what "languages" are for?
