Let's get back to the point here!

Basically, there are AS400 developers who are unclear about VARPG.
IBM's marketing has let the organization and AS400 staff down again.

Please don't tell me why something was or wasn't done when
you weren't there.

What made you think I had an opinion on your motives, or the motives of any other person at IBM who may have sponsored or promoted VARPG. I just made an observation about what happened with the product, given the benefit of hindsight.

I spent five (5) years developing Windows applications, myself. As far as my own efforts to develop Windows applications, about the only good I can say is that it broadened my understanding. Given hindsight, I would have been further along in my career, writing ILE service programs during that time.

Peace, brother.
