Re: RPG I

Heh! Or maybe RPG ILE and LE was lost?

Then it would not be RPG One - It'd be RPG Eye - hey - there's an idea
for a new name for RPG - follows the example of IBM i - RPG i!

OK, I'm ducking now!

subject: RPG I

I never heard of RPG I. Was it just called RPG? Would I be able to

adapt to

it rapidly? Would it mean punching holes in cards?
I started off with RPG400. Thanks.

It is a very early version of the langauge. I don't believe there was

ever anything actually called RPG I but there was indeed a version prior to
RPG II and that would be it.

To my knowledge there are no active machines using it. Even on

mainframes the RPG in use is an early version of RPG II.

Did someone ask you perhaps to learn RPG IV and the "V" got lost?
