The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

I don't see why a language cannot support both dynamic and static
typing. in effect, the RPG SQL pre compiler does that with the dynamic

That isn't really what happens if you think about it Steve.
The SQL portion is only dynamic in the sense that the statement can be dynamically built etc. but in order to do anything with the data retrieved within the RPG context you have to associate named pre-defined host variable fields with the results of the queries.
There are languages - PHP for one - on the IBM i that are dynamically typed, why not use those. Of course it is possible to have the RPG compiler modified to handle dynamic typing as well as static but it isn't going to happen in any meaningful timeframe that I can see.
