Re: VisualAge RPG Questions

Joel, 

According to 
http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/code400-l
Code/400 is the list for VARPG.
Don't see a whole lot of activity regarding VARPG on that list.

I've not heard anything about IBM and VARPG.  I know that ASNA's been 
around since the dawn of time.  We had their Accerlate product on our 
S/36.  And one of their selling points is that they won't drop a product 
like IBM has with OV/400, Firewall on the 400 and a slew of other 
products.  But it's hard to argue with not using a product you already 
paid for when you purchased 5722-WDS.

We are not doing any developing in either of these two C/S flavors of RPG.

VisualAge RPG Questions






Greetings all,

I am just starting to experiment with VARPG and I have a few questions:

1) Is VARPG still viable?  Is IBM still developing it?  Is anything
changing in Windows in the foreseeable future to prevent it from
working?

2) Can you use any database or does it have to connect to an iSeries?

3) What references/resources are recommended for learning VARPG?

4) How does VARPG compare to ASNA's Visual RPG?

5) Is there another list for VARPG?  If not, is this the appropriate
list for VARPG questions?

I've been aware of VARPG for a while, but I've recently becomed
interested in the possibilities, so any real-world experience, advice, 
points of view, and caveats would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Joel
