My initial exposure to the IBM midrange world was with RPG (S/32, S/34 a
little bit later). When we got our first S/34 our company rule was to code
most of the programs with COBOL, as it was a "standard" language. The
report programs were done in RPG and there was one or two WSU programs (a
RPG-like language oriented to workstations) for the most important data
entry programs.
It has been my understanding that in Europe COBOL has been (or at least,
was in the beginning) more popular than RPG, even in the IBM midrange
world.
I really liked COBOL and, the experience I got programming in it was very
helpful some years later, when I was hired by a major bank that was doing a
conversion from their AS/400 to a big mainframe.
