Re: Alternate Platform for RPG

["Mike Silvers" <msilvers@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not interested in executing my applications on a windows platform at
all.  The iSeries is the most stable and secure platform I have dealt with.
I would not replace RPG programs with any other language.  I would use other
languages to supplement my RPG programs.  There are some areas where other
languages are more efficient than RPG.  One example is connecting to a web
server using SSL.  Java is more efficient at this type of connection than
RPG.  For this specific example, I use an RPG program as the driver for the
Java program.

The bottom line -- I would have no interest in moving from the iSeries to
another platform.  I would have no interest in replacing my RPG programs
with another language.

Hello RPG/400 User,

This is a survey to determine how many RPG/400 users are interested in
executing their applications on Windows platforms, replacing RPG by Visual
BASIC as the application language, or on UNIX/Linux platforms replacing RPG
by Java. And if so, which relational database would be preferred.

If you are interested, please reply to this email noting your preferences.

Thank you.

Vladimir Stepanoff
