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

Unless something has changed since I have known of, pure SQL stored
procedures first get translated into a "C" program and then it is submitted
to a C compiler. I think the RPG does not follow the same route.

This would pre-suppose that RPG (or indeed any language on IBM i) compiles
down to C. They don't. All ILE compilers output a variant of IBM's w-code
intermediate code. That is then translated down to machine instructions.
In the case of OPM compilers, they produced MI as the intermediate language.

So the answer is No.

That said there was an open-source RPG compiler a while back which did
generate C code.
