Re: RPG Cycle

["chandran balaji" <cbalajivk@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

And the holy war has begun :-)

And for the less fortunate like me who would dare to use embedded SQL at 
every possible oppertunity, (since the fecility is available), programming 
using RPG cycle provides more complexity in regards to many aspects such as 
code maintainence and knowledge sharing. My comments are based on the 
following assumptions

       1. The present day programmers, would rather feel comfortable 
learning SQL (if they have to), than going back to those old schools and 
learn about concepts of RPG cycle.

       2. They could find many avenues to find help for new technology such 
as embedded SQL, where as the lack of expertise as it is with RPG cycle 
programming might lead to further demotivation.

       3. And last but not the least they always would feel that they have 
upgraded their skill set to a new generation language.

Thanks
