RE: DIM question (Was MOVE/MOVEL and %Scan)

Joe,

Funny, that just these instructions that make RPG by far the best language,
are replaced by something, ie. SQL (the hype that it MUST be SQL seems to
have passed a bit at least), that can be quite cumbersome to code as clean
as native IO.

Not that SQL is bad (on the contrary), but for trivial things like writing
or reading a single record is native IO still much easier.  It just proves
that the right tool for the right job is not always true !

Hype is still an important fact in IT !

Kind regards,
Paul

While you CAN do
business applications in other languages, the integrated database
instructions of RPG make it by far the best language for the task.
