Re: Future of RPG was: Open Access for RPG Syntax

I'm sure there's a few iSeries + Linux only shops out there, but I'd
guess that 90% of iSeries sites have Windows...

CL doesn't count as a separate language, as I don't think anybody
knows RPG without knowing CL.

REXX might count, but perhaps only as a 1/2 credit

SQL counts, but only when you can use it for more than a prompted
SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE statement in STRSQL.

I don't know about you, but I've worked with plenty of developers who
only know RPG (and CL).

Hi Charles,

I was commenting on the "every site is multi-platform, at least having
a MS and an iSeries" comment.  Of *course* every developer on the IBMi
knows more than one language - we have CL and SQL and REXX, and and
and...  And of *course* you can't run RPG in the browser so you need
to know something of the client side language.
