Well, why isn't it going to happen for us?  I know why it hasn't happened in the
PAST,
because RPG was not set up for effective code reusable.  Subroutines were about 
it,
for
quite a while.

Well, now with RPGLE we have the ability to build external libraries to our 
source
code,
which is what all the other languages profit from.  I think that since the 
ability
now exists
in RPG to effectively share and reuse code that it should, and will, start to
happen.

We just didn't before because it was ineffective.

Regards,

Jim Langston
