The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

It would cost far more than you suggest I suspect - but more
importantly there is little demand.
To answer Aaron's question I think there are two major features needed
and both would be useful and usable regardless of any OO implementation.
For one either typeless parameters or overloading (or both if I'm
greedy!)
For two - the first is no help unless you also get this - and this is
the hard one. PCML needs to be updated to support all datatypes and so
do operational descriptors. Difficulty with this is you need an OS
project (JT/400), the IBM i folks in Rochester, and Toronto to all
have enough money and resource in the same budget cycle to make it
happen. I just don't see that happening.
Open Access shows that Rochester are at long last prepared to think
about supporting RPG oriented initiatives BUT Rational have also
demonstrated with OA that they expect to get $s for their efforts. So
something like OO features for RPG that have little user demand and
would cost substantial amounts don't seem to fit a model where there
needs to be revenue associated with any new feature.
