I think I'm missing something here.  VB can't (as best I know) be used to
edit/compile/debug green screen and batch RPG applications.  That is the task
for which Code/400 was invented.  So why would you ever be considering choosing
between one and the other ??   I admit that the price tag for Code/400 at
$1,000 bucks a seat (discounts available for multiple seats) is higher than I'd
like, but that's due to an earlier decision to bundle Code/400 with VARPG.
Hopefully that situation will not last forever and we'll be looking at a much
lower price level if all you want is Code/400.
If you meant to compare VARPG with VB, then the comparison is closer, but as
others have pointed out the "raw" $100 VB is hardly suitable for AS/400 access
and you really need the professional edition plus a third party set of controls
for data access.  Of course you still have the consideration that VB will not
let you re-use your existing RPG code on the client-side.
