Yes! and this the way RPG developers understand the know-how of an
application.

Joe, how is implemented this stateful connection using EGL+RPG?
The end user can press "Next 20 rows" after 25 minutes the first petition.
the RPG program is all the time wanting with open files as in 5250 app?
the RPG job is an normal job? then you can have hundreds of "waiting"
jobs... yes in the same way 5250 app.

I this this the way to go in complex app (and for my near all apps are so
complex)
