Re: RPG III (RPG/400)

We are using Infor XA. So for that we still see a lot of RPG/400. (A couple of them have hit the 50 file limit.)
Existing in-house programs that have been developed in the past are a mix of RPG/400 & RPG IV (both fixed and free).
New in-house is RPG IV Free.

We did get RDi 9.1.1.1 installed on all of the developers PCs recently. They also went thru a training session with IBM. Those that have tried RDi like it. They just tend to fall back to old habits.
I pretty much use RDi fulltime. It is funny because they will ask me how to do something in greenscreen TurnOver and I can't remember how to do it. But I can go into the RDi plugin and do it in no time flat without even thinking. :)


Thanks,
Scott Johnson

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RPG III (RPG/400)

I'm wondering how many people using RDi are still supporting RPG III (RPG/400) code? All of our new development is done in RPG IV but our manufacturing and financial systems are old purchased software originally written in RPG III (RPG/400). There are some functions that aren't supported for RPG member types and some that is not missing but for all practical purposes is hidden unless you know the shortcuts. I'm pretty sure we're in the minority but am wondering how many of us are out there.
