I hope that gives you a little idea about request processing programs.
It could be done in RPG just as easily with a few API wrappers.

It's always amusing to me when RPG folk say "oh, no big deal, just a
few API wrappers". Well, if those wrappers are already written, sure.
If not, then I think your CL code is about a thousand times easier.

I'd say Rexx is a much better choice than RPG-wrapped APIs, but even
fewer folks are good with Rexx than are good with RPG-wrapped APIs.
(I'm abysmal at either, but at least I had fun when I was playing with
Rexx.)

Speaking of which, I could have sworn Chuck recently wrote something
about a command processor he wrote in Rexx way back when.
