My point was that asking IBM to write an RPG opcode that transforms data

And if you want proof positive of that look at the support for XML generation in COBOL - and the hoops you have to go through in terms of XSLT etc. to get anything useful out of it.

I'm 100% with Scott on this - the last op-code I ever want to see IBM working on is an XML-OUT or whatever.
