Re: Anyway to produce the assembly or C language from a compiled RPG program?

This would pre-suppose that RPG (or indeed any language on IBM i) compiles

In the case of OPM compilers, they produced MI as the intermediate language.


Jon, can you explain a bit about the difference between MI and W-Code (or
point to some such discussion)? Thanks.
