The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Yep IBM *could* make easier to use opcodes to replace API calls.
RPGer's will use opcodes/bif where they won't think of venturing into
APIs...
Thanks,

This is exactly what I am talking about, so I think we are on the same
page;
it's just that somebody took the sugar out of your Koolaid and mine is
still
in :-) On the serious side though, if IBM were to implement some of
these
features as part of the compiler it would take off much better.
There are hordes of RPG programmers out there who would use it if it
were offered as "RPG". Even API's are new to most of them, I think, in
their daily work. But if it were "part of the language" it would be a
more "natural" assimilation for them, and it would be easier for them to
catch on to, and a lot more of them would do it. And that could have a
multiplier effect with the rest of them too...
