Re: Future of RPG was: Open Access for RPG

Aaron,

correct me if I'm wrong ... most YIP's know javascript and can program
in this syntax. If my hypoteses is right why not have several syntaxes
within an RPG program

*RPGLE - the basic syntax is fixed format RPGLE
*RPGFREE - the basic syntax is free format
*RPGSCRIPT or *RPGJAVA - the basic syntax is Javascript

To shift we only need

/fixed
c if abc = '123'
bla bla bla
c endif
/end-fixed

/free
if abc = '123';
bla bla bla
endif;
/end-free

/script
if (abc == '123') {
bla bla bla
}
/end-script

This will improve the learning code dramatically also for the YIP's

Just an idear
