The reason you won't see RPG on other platforms is that 80% of what you like about RPG has nothing to do with the language, It's really OS/400. Things like; Error handling (*PSSR, etc) Chains, Reade's Readpe's, etc (you might get embedded SQL as your only I/O) Program status D/S File Info D/S NO workstation files. Externally Defined D/S's etc etc John Carr +--- | This is the RPG/400 Mailing List! | To submit a new message, send your mail to RPG400-L@midrange.com. | To subscribe to this list send email to RPG400-L-SUB@midrange.com. | To unsubscribe from this list send email to RPG400-L-UNSUB@midrange.com. | Questions should be directed to the list owner/operator: david@midrange.com +---END
