>Aaron, what RPG limitation are you thinking about when you write "so please >correct me if you are not held to any of RPG's limitations,..."? The whole "RPG doesn't have OO" debate that we chewed on about two months ago. There are so many other options in other languages out there that RPG doesn't have that I am not quite sure where to start. Overriding, ability to create your own data types, the ability to instantiate an object, the list could go on. . . Not to mention that the RPG GUI editor is a couple years behind the rest of the IDE's out there. Don't get me wrong, I am very thankful for CODE (I haven't tried the other GUI RPG editors) but it is definitely lacking. >The learning curve for new employees on many green screen applications is >just too frustrating today. This is also the reason I have heard in my company. . .

That means you can do most everything right now except Freeform C-specs. Just out of curiosity, how current is your iSeries? I see very few places making changes for appearance alone. The most common reason I see is management's desire for good GUI design for user training. The learning curve for new employees on many green screen applictions is just too frustrating today. --------------------------------------------------------- Booth Martin http://www.MartinVT.com Booth@MartinVT.com --------------------------------------------------------- -------Original Message------- From: rpg400-l@midrange.com Date: Monday, December 30, 2002 19:37:02 To: rpg400-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: Is RPG available on any other platform ? "...Sure, we have VARPG...but what release level is it at? VARPG has (in the past) lagged green-screen RPG by at least one release; I don't know how close it is to V5R1 today.

One thing that I have found to be interesting is that some people's reason for going GUI isn't for additional functionality but instead for looks. YIKES!!
