A way to improve RPG is by integrating it even more to the OS. Support the
multiple occurance data struct as an object type in os/400. Then access the
mods in RPG just as it is used now. Where the OS insures the integrity of
the structure and serializes access.
Steve: One of the reasons RPG is not widely used on other systems is
because it is already too tied to the iSeries operating system. The
trend these days is to *not* have any O/S dependencies in a
programming language, and to abstract out any O/S specific
functionality into general non-O/S specific class libraries. Using
an abstraction layer over the O/S services (such as the modules "os"
and "os.path" in Python) allows you to easily port programs between
different systems.
Multiple occurrence data structure as an object type in OS/400? You
already have it - it's called a table in a relational database.
