According to the national weather service, the IBM iSeries i5 with RPG IV
and the new i5/OS Version 6 Release 0 will be used from now on to monitor
the weather the impacts North America.
"This is largely due to the advanced capabilities of that computer language
over others we have attempted to use, such as Java. With the IBM RPG lV
language, we can write a program to monitor the weather and it virtually
never crashes. With Java and C which is what we had be using, it would
crash
frequently." Said Sidd Finch a WMS meteorologist with the U.S. Weather
service.

The RPG IV Language has been in production for 10 years and is used in a
half million companies world-wide. Apparently it is coming into vogue late
in life but certainly will make future computer programming models at the
NWS much more accurate.
