RE: Using % type functions/using RPG IV

Jon,

While SAP discourages you from modifying R/3, you can modify it.  They have
a mechanism in place that registers the fact that you have modified a
program so their support staff is aware of the modifications.  They also
have all kinds of exits and APIs that allow you to extend the application.  

Regards,
Stan McPartland

The other problem with your perspective is that (as far as I know) none of
the
packages you're talking about allow the in-house programmers to modify the
code
anyway (although some have a case-type tool) so talking about these products
in
this context is just plain daft.  We were discussing inhibitors to people
moving
to RPG IV - if I don't receive source from my vendor then there is no
inhibitor!
