According to John Sears (a disciple of DR. Frank) COBOL was and may still be a
faster processing language. It has/had
something to do with generating fewer machine instructions to perform the same
function as compared to RPG.

Hello all,
Where does COBOL and C stands when compare to RPG. I see more
discussions on RPG. Do you think we need to suggest our clients to
convert from COBOL to RPG?

Subject: Validate Data library name
Hi
I have a program wherein the user enters the data library name on the
screen, and the company name. Now I first need to validate if the
library is
a valid AS400 library and if yes then i need to validate the company
number
from the company master file present in that data library.
Any suggestions on how this can be handled??
Thanks in advance
