Don't almost all programming languages allow you to code any number of files in a compile unit?

Almost all programming languages don't even know about database files, they only know about ResultSets.

I think the responsibility of creating a good architecture in an application is up to the programmer, not the programming language.
</quote>

Almost all RPG applications, I have seen in about 20 years, don't have an architecture at all. The most heared alibi is "it's historical grown", but software doesn't grow, when it is aging, it's shrinking!
With ILE you could write modular applications, but most RPG programmers don't and having a look to Java applications, written by programmers who first learned RPG or COBOL they transfer their RPG-style of programming to the new language. In most cases the first programming language people have learned forms the style of programming and RPG is not a good choice to begin with writing applications!
