RE: What is a Modern RPG Programmer???

I would be hard-pressed to remember the last time I coded a subroutine in RPG. Local variables and return values are the BEST.

The only place I use a subroutine is in CL.

A component of modern programming could be using free form and sql but the
primary component is using ILE which proceeded free format.

ILE means using procedures, modules and service programs and I would also
include using sql.

You can be using 100% free format and still be doing monolith programming.

Modern programming means using functional decomposition to break code down
in small pieces and using procedures, modules and service programs to
encapsulate them.

Been asked to show how I am programming as a MODERN RPG PROGRAMMER.

Would it be using completely FREE FORMAT from F specs to C specs.

Embedded SQL that is just dropped in the code.

No /Free statements.

Would like the groups thoughts.
