RE: Is RPG dying

This sounds like one of those rumors getting created by people that still
see the machine as a legacy. Or, one of those MS clowns that are terrified
to put their DB systems up against one of the most power (and misunderstood)
machines out there.


I hear this one every now and then in the States and chuckle.

Subject: Is RPG dying

Hi,

There is some talks going on in Sri Lanka among some developers they say
RPG is dying and IBM is no longer invsting on it.

But I know that is not the case, sad thing is Sri Lankan IBM also saying
rpg is dying and their support is 0 on RPG. Infact they do nothing for us
who is in this arena (no events no seminars nothing)

May b this is being discussed in this list but I like to get some more
details on the subject especially I like to hear some thing on this from
Barbara Morris, Scott, Aaron Bartell, John and Susan or any one who knows
about this.

Thanks
