Re: TV Ad (I'm the man)

I dont know, I think IBM has to improve the system before they try to
sell people on the idea of buying it.  I am doing a lot of programming
of the system lately and it is not easy.   A large system, we are
writing new programs, creating new files every day.  The 10 character
object name is very cramped - too much time is spent working out what
naming convention to use.    Always trying to write reuseable, modular
code, we are coding SQL procedures, ILE procedures, CL commands.  The
problem is ILE, SQL, CL and, of course, Java dont work seamlessly
together. SQL procedures can call into ILE, but ILE cant call an SQL
procedure.  CL commands work with programs, but dont with ILE
procedures.  Been experimenting with using CALLPRC in CLLE lately,
just to take advantage of the self documenting of the long procedure
name.  This is not working so well because of the lack of support in
CL of RPG varying and data struct types. Would be great if IBM would
put some investment into enhancing CL commands.  Allow them to be the
interface and gateway to all these bastions of code on the system. 
>From a CLLE module I should be able to call an SQL procedure, a Java
static method, an ILE procedure and a program - all thru the a long
name command interface.
