Re: ChatGPT does COBOL and RPG...

I've encountered several instances where chatGPT seems to get confused between widely used functions (such as those in CGIDEV2 and other packages that have routines of the same name) and BIFs. As a result, it tends to slap a % sign in front of many such routines.

I asked chatGPT to show me an example of how to get all the headers in an
http request with Apache on the IBM i, and it showed me one in which it
specified the "use of the %getenvar" built-in function. I immediately
jumped out of my seat and said "wow, that one I didn't know", and I just
immediately tried out and of course...it does not exist.

I just LOL.

Cool chatGPT!

I've had good times with chatGPT, 98% of the time it gives me what I want,
but the other 2% makes me LOL.

Not really RPG III, more like fixed format IV and Free-Format IV.
