Seriously? - good grief. Are you in a really bad mood today?

SPECIAL files have been used for web browsers, weigh scales and goodness knows what else.

The OP said that the tool generated RPG programs that interfaced with Oracle. While such a tool generating SPECIAL file interfaces was unlikely it was possible so I thought i'd mention it.

You don't agree that it was a possibility - fine - but was there really any need to dump all over me? I started the post with IF for goodness sake!

The OP was not talking about /36 and SPECIAL file technique, he was talking about Oracle Gateway and this was using the ARDPGM interface to redirect SQL/400 to an Oracle database.
The topic is not, as far as I understand, to migrate outdated RLA applications to Oracle.
