Yeah. Use another language. RPG, even in its most advanced incarnation, really doesn't make this easy. Possible, of course. But you're swimming upstream if you're doing it in RPG.

Well, I try to build tools for my team of rpg programmers.
They could learn a new language. This means a lot of time learning, which is good, but cost a lot.
Another language is still an option.
I am now trying to see where we can go, how much abstraction I can give to my programmers.
Can I give it to them in rpgle ? I did nice things so far.
I want to build tools that allows them to do more stuff with less code. (better code, less bugs, better reading)
That could sound insane, but I even considered building a new language with a better syntax I could compile in rpgle or in a module.
