EGL and RPG in the web world

Incidentally, Joe could indicate whether, when he develops a new app
with EGL, he uses RPG at all, and if so, precisely where he moves
back to RPG. Apologies if that has been asked a few times before,
but it would help in evaluating the relationship. Maybe you end up
using RPG as a .... "report program generator":) .

If an application is easily handled by SQL (meaning purely relational queries and simple or no updates) then I may use no RPG at all. If, however, I need to do anything requiring a little more database muscle I'll call an RPG program. This can involve complex database navigation or non-trivial updates. Also if I need stateful connections, I'll also use an RPG call.
