Re: Using VARLEN DDS keyword

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is what confuses me.

He said RPG/400.  I have a book, "AS/400 ILE RPG/400 Programmer's Guide".
Isn't RPG/400 just ILE RPG/400 without using any of the ILE stuff, which
is RPG IV?  

Or does RPG/400 designate RPG III?  Or is it simpley that both RPG III and
RPG IV were called RPG/400 and just the first version (RPG III) is called
RPG/400, and the later versions are called ILE RPG or RPG IV?

Regards,

Jim Langston
