Hello,


We are working on a white paper which will compare RPG programming productivity flexibility with other approaches for i5 application development. I would be interested in feedback/insight on the following.


The #1 most used and needed programming task is development of a “WORK WITH” screen. This typically in RPG is a subfile with a position to type prompt. You typically can input a search parameter(s) and get a list of records to work with. They are used everywhere and examples include: work with orders, work with products, work with employees, work with customers, etc.

Once you have a list of records then #2 most required task is file maintenance. (Edit, insert, delete one of the records in your list. )


Roughly how long does it take in RPG to create a new “WORK WITH” and Data maintenance application from your experience?

Thanks, Paul Holm
