An exception to this would be MAPICS.

Are you serious?

If you haven't noticed, all of the hand-coded RPG 2/3/4  "million dollar"
package vendors are gone!!

They have gone out of business, sold out, or whatever, but are no longer
tied to the AS/400 RPG design paradigm, as you call it.

The remaining players are all marketing within AND outside the AS/400 World,
so they have moved beyond the RPG game.  They all develop in C or VB or a
CASE tool that they invented or whatever.

I dont think any serious players are still coding in RPG of any flavor.  I'm
pretty sure that none of them even generate RPG anymore from their tools!

For example JDE, Lawson, Intentia, etc, etc.

The RPG-developed apps vendors lost market share and are gone!
