Re: RPG easier/harder to use than other languages?

My security concern is the exposed user profile. If it's compromised, it can be used for a variety of attacks (e.g. 5250, FTP, ODBC, SMB). You can protect all those, but I look at it like a juggler. The more balls you try to keep in the air at once, the higher the chance of dropping one.

ODBC requires a system user profile, which IMO is a significant distinction.

The ODBC profile we created is severely restricted in what it can
access. The stored procs and that's it. What am I missing? If
there's a security issue, we really need to address it!
