RE: Is RPG 'DEAD"

You can rig the equivalent to try finally in RPG and ILE, but it is a lot

of code.

In fact, IBM should do this. It's fully supported by the OS and it really benefits "business computing" which we use as some kind of buzzword apparently. Instead we get some new BIF's, opr whatever.
RPG is dying...

no try ... catch ....

Then what is???

Monitor;
On-Error;
EndMon;

it is no where as comprehensive and feature rich as exception handling
in java or c#. In RPG if an *escape message is sent to a procedure
lower on the invocation stack, your on-error ... endmon code will not
be executed. In C#, the try ... finally handler will be called. You
can rig the equivalent to try finally in RPG and ILE, but it is a lot
of code.
