RE: Using OO concepts in RPG

["Booth Martin" <Booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

How, Joe?  How would I print a a report to a PC printer with RPG?  I'd like
a watermark, with the company logo in the upper left/  The time and date
should be small printer.  Paging would be "Page n of nn"   I'd like to print
landscape and use the whole page.
 
Its an awfully casual comment that you tossed out of "For extended 
pretty printing, I'd rather see support for XML/XSLT "  Maybe its the better
way, but it sure isn't currently available in RPG that I am aware of.
 
(by the way, none of this is personal Joe.  I just can't let some of the
outrageous comments you make go unanswered.  When anyone asks someone of
Hans' status to step down for the good of the platform it makes my hackles
rise.   Hans has done more for RPG on his lunch hours than any of the rest
of us have done in our entire careers.  I'd be including you in the "any of
the rest of us" group Joe.

I think extended printing support for RPG is not needed. (including FOP)
with
the idea of letting a PC do the hard work of turning character data to
pixels. I'd rather not waste the very expensive cycles of the iSeries on
something a PC can do nearly for free.
