Re: RPG Cycle

[Steve_Roncskevitz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

My belief is that the cycle is very good for reports and sequential processing
of files.  For interactive stuff it is for the birds.

When programming in RPG, you will always carry the overhead for using the cycle
in your programs.  Your choice is if you want to use it, you can, if you don't,
then you don't.  It is no big deal one way or the other, What you program to do
without the cycle, can be done very easily and simply by using the cycle with a
lot less code.

That is my 2-cents worth.

Subject:  RPG Cycle




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.
