Exactly my point of a few weeks ago.
IBM has to stop enhancing this language. Its driving me crazy and preventing
people from using any new features.

I am hoping that I mis-read that. . .:-)

If you are just developing green screens with sub-files or reports then RPG
is a great language.  But what if you have a large investment in RPG and
want to leverage that in new development and customer demands?  In that case
RPG enhancements aren't coming nearly fast enough.  If a language doesn't
change with needs then it will be passed up more and more often.  If people
don't need new RPG functionality then they can stay at lesser versions, but
that shouldn't hold back rapid development in the language.

Just my $.02,

p.s. I don't hate RPG, it is just my new "label" at my company;-)
