What do you think? Is there a need for RPG V? If IBM is indeed serious
about an RPG V, what might the rationale be?


Maybe what IBM really want to do is add a new parameter on CVTRPGSRC
called TGTLANG() or something, so that customers could finally convert
off of RPG onto C++ or something like that, I don't know. If I were
spending my $100 in the 'what do you want for RPG?' survey, I wouldn't
spend much more than a dollar on free form H, F, D, O specs.

Namespace support would be great. I'd probably put $75 toward it.

If IBM wants to make my life easier, instead of having the RDi wizard insert
the java prototypes into my code, have a pre-compiler do all that work. I'd
put my remaining $25 toward that.
