Re: Qualified sub-procedures

Hans,

Bottom line:  If you want to do OO development, then you should probably
be using an OO language.

 We have heard on this list several times that RPG is not a good language
to become an OO language.  You also mentioned a few reasons, but those
leaned more toward preference than technical obstacles.

 What technical obstacles do you see?  And what *serious* programming
obstacles do you see?  (For example, I do not consider strong typing to be
a serious obstacle, because that could be relaxed in some instances [CONST
parms being an  example of that], or, as you mentioned, the design s/b
revisited.)
