oh no it isn't. it has pointers, it has bif's, it's string functions are no longer a performance nightmare, it's had qualified data structures forever... RPG has been playing catchup all these years.


Thanks,

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
Derek
