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.
Please pardon what might be a dumb and perhaps uneasily answered question,
but...
Why should I care about the issues that Steve has listed below as well as
others in previous messages?
The RPG that I write for the company I work for works just fine without
these "features", although they could be implemented behind the scenes. Yes,
we are a green screen company, it is the interface that my users want.
Prototypes of systems rewritten using GUI technology were soundly rejected.
Granted, this is probably not the case for the majority of companies on this
list and certainly not the case for those of you writing code for sale.

COBOL is inferior to RPG because you cant modularize your code with
parameters on a perform statement. RPG is inferior to Java and C#
because of memory leaks, no try ... catch .... finally blocks, no
property setters and getters, no delegates, no data struct member
functions, no virtual functions, ....
RPG is OK, but C# and Java are more feature rich.
