What Does IBM Need to Do with RPG?
** This thread discusses the article: What Does IBM Need to Do with RPG? **
Bob, I actually like redundancy. I want more than one way to do the same thing so that I can choose the one that's the most comfortable. For example, when in Windows when I want to open a file I know that I can click on File/Open or I can press Alt-F/O or I can press CTL-O. Three "redundant" ways to do the same thing, but that gives me flexibility. Same goes for my programming language. chuck Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.

Keep the coming. | Remember, my point is that RPG IV is being enhanced in a fragmented manner, not that the iSeries is evolving to quickly. Yes I want continued enhancements to RPG IV (or "RPG V") but I don't think they need to be rolled out in each release of OS/400. I would rather IBM take the time to ponder the enhancements and make sure they are consistent and valuable, rather than just release them and be done with it. My hope is for a better language, not a language with the most features or the most redundant features as some of your have noted.
