Re: Interesting Find

The HP 3000 was supposed to be the IBM mini killer, if my memory serves
correctly.

Jim,

"Back in the days" several system providers offered their own RPG dialect
in order to, I guess, wrest away IBM customers. In the '80s, the company I
worked for flirted for a little time with the idea of porting our S/34
programs and data to other companies. Right now I remember Wang and HP
(don't know if we checked Unisys). Regarding HP, what I remember is that
the programming environment was more flexible, with better debugging
facilities and easier to design display files.

Just googling around a little I found this old document:

Thanks for the memories. :-)

Best Regards,

Luis

I was doing some Google to find an example of how to code something and
stumbled on this:

https://public.support.unisys.com/aseries/docs/clearpath-mcp-16.0/pdf/860007

42-103.pdf
Unisys Report Program Generator (RPG) dated 2008.
I skimmed through it quick (out of curiosity) some of the examples look
like
RPGII code. Thought some of you might find this interesting.
