Re: RPG/400 vs RPGIV (Was Re: Using VARLEN DDS keyword)

Yeah, SCO99-1525-00, official IBM publication.  It's for program number
5763-RG1.  It's Version 3 which we received with our V3R7M0 OS.

I would make the suggestion, people, that if you mean to specify RPG III
use RPG III or RPG 3 instead of RPG/400 please.  Much confusion on some
of use.  I use RPG III and RPG IV and RPG ILE (ILE talking about a program
that's actually utilizing the ILE concepts).
