RE: [Bulk] Re: RCVF in CL

In my experience, I find system admin type folks (more of the hardware /OS
oriented than programmer oriented) write CL because it allows them to use
the commands they use every day where RPG is a whole new ballgame. And yes,
I know a number of these types that can't even spell RPG.

Yes, CL comes with the OS, RPG is extra.
Maybe REXX will be a good choice for this job, instead of CL. I think is is
also included in the OS.

At V5R3 and above, you can have more than one DCLF in a CL program.

Nifty, but I agree with Buck's sentiment: CL is not a good tool for this

task.

Which makes me wonder, and I don't pose these questions to be snarky:

1. Are there folks who are really, really skilled with CL, but can't
code a lick of RPG? (I guess by a Carl-Sagan-style argument, there
probably are some.)

2. Is there such a thing as an IBM midrange system with a CL compiler
but no RPG compiler? Like, can you even buy the CL compiler without
the RPG compiler? (If the CL compiler is always included with the
system no matter what, and the RPG compiler is an extra-cost option,
then I consider the answer to be "yes".)
