For you BPCS
history buffs, AS/SET was developed in 1989 and released in Jan. 1990 by SSA
under Roger Covey, the founder and then CEO of SSA. Roger had tried to buy Synon
and one other company out of Australia that had a CASE tool at the time, but to
no avail.
To
develop AS/SET, Roger approached Robert Hunter, the former owner of Outlook
Software, a company that SSA had bought in 1987 that was the author of BIR
(BPCS Information Retrieval), and BBM (BPCS Business Modeling). Hunter, as a
result of the acquisition, was at that time a product manager at SSA. After
AS/SET was released, Hunter and the 6 programmers he assembled to write AS/SET
became the basis for the CASE laboratory, a division of SSA that became their
R& D facility – in Westmont, IL, offsite
from SSA’s corporate headquarters in downtown Chicago. The CASE lab eventually
employed almost 100 people but was disbanded when Covey left SSA around 1992-93.
Virtually no work was done on AS/SET after this, and SSA subsequently went
bankrupt after a succession of failed CEOs.

Hey, if it works for you that's cool. Nice discipline. So, how do you
et AS/SET to read an entire XML file stored as a stream file in the IFS
nd put it into data structures like you can do with a single RPG op code?
.1 of RPG allows you to read the results of an SQL stored procedure. How
id AS/SET address this?
am just saying if your only tool is a hammer then all problems appear to
e nails.
