A structured programming language vs a Object Oriented Programming language.

ILE/RPG is a structured programming language.

I agree with whatt sson. Actually, the link you provide goes even
further and says that OOP is a type of structured programming.

In the end, all this terminology is pretty vague. And it's malleable.
And programming languages tend to be "impure", so various labels
simultaneously apply to some extent.

You said that ILE/RPG is superb "at least for a structured language",
implying there are other languages that you like better, but are not
structured. Putting aside for the moment any "official" definition of
structured, what did *you* mean? What other languages (not in
whatever class of languages ILE/RPG is a member of) were you thinking
of? (Not confrontational, just curious. We are all entitled to like
whatever languages we like.)
