I can definitely tell you that IBM is investing in RPG into the future. Unfortunately, my NDA's with IBM won't let me divulge what those future enhancements will be. :)
One simple way to prove your point is to send the naysayers to the RPG Cafe on DeveloperWorks.
https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/community/cafe/rpg.html
You will find all RPG enhancement announcements there as well as insightful tips from experts within and outside of IBM.

Subject: Is RPG dying
Hi,
There is some talks going on in Sri Lanka among some developers they say RPG is dying and IBM is no longer invsting on it.
But I know that is not the case, sad thing is Sri Lankan IBM also saying rpg is dying and their support is 0 on RPG. Infact they do nothing for us who is in this arena (no events no seminars nothing)
May b this is being discussed in this list but I like to get some more details on the subject especially I like to hear some thing on this from Barbara Morris, Scott, Aaron Bartell, John and Susan or any one who knows about this.
Thanks
