RE: RPG Cycle

The RPG cycle has its place.  If you need level breaks, matching records
ect.  it is GREAT.  For controlling an interactive display, well it not all
that intuitive and should be avoided IMHO.  But batch reporting is much
easier when the cycle controls the flow....

What does everyone think of the RPG cycle, for todays programming?

I got my programming degree in 98 and I never heard a word about a RPG cycle
in school.
I now have gotten a new manager, who comes from a RPG II background and
thinks wonders of the cycle. 

Also if anyone has any or can point me to info on the cycle.


Thanks for all your guys (and gals) input, I have learned more from this
list than all my RPG classes.
