I just have to jump in on this one - your post says it all - "in addition to looking at RPG iSeries based" - he is a consultant hired to look at non-RPG stuff - he has an agenda. Of course he will say this kind of thing. It is all absolute HOOEY!!

As others have said - yes, SEU is being deprecated. And he might even have a bit of a point if you are talking about OPM RPG - that is getting no development, I believe - but ILE RPG is a stunner now, ever more so.

Good grief - IBM has this ardent commitment to making sure you do not lose your investment in past work because of something they change - all that OPM RPG code will still compile - if you have the compiler.

Sorry - this kind of folly just ... just.... sigh!!!

LOL

We have been searching for a new ERP package. In additon to looking at RPG
Iseries based, we hired a consultant to assist in this endeavour. He has made a
statement that RPG is Dead, that he claims, IBM guys told him so.

I am interested in opinions and links to the contrary on this,
