RPG OA is simply one tool. It doesn't replace evey other tool you have. Pick the most appropriate for the job. We bulit a test-case to geocode / reverse geocode an address via a simple chain. It worked beautifully. I see THAT kind of RPG OA usage as simple and elegant.
Why do you think RPG OA is the right tool here? I won't argue with your
response, because I'm asking for an opinion. I just want your honest
assessment of why it's better to add an OA handler in this case than
say, to add a read trigger? I thought it was one of the better uses for
OA - you're chaining already, but you need additional information and
rather than add a procedure call in the main program you can do it in
the handler.
Actually, I've sort of answered my own question, but I'm interested to
hear your response.
Oh, and OPM is not even in the picture - handlers are not even allowed
in OPM source - only ILE.
I think Larry meant "old programming model" in the sense of using RLA
opcodes to call programs rather than using procedures or calls.
