Yes, BUT, just try to retrofit BPCS BMR's to AS/Set RPG that you've modified 
outside of the tool.

You should have tried Synon and Lansa back when CASE was big.  AS/Set had an 
absolutely _STELLAR_ learning curve and generated better code compared to the 
latter at the time.  You'd be surprised at what AS/Set can do if you throw 
the "tutorial" out the window and use it as it _works_, not as it was 
_intended_ to work.

Indeed.
