Re: RPG Low-Code Development Platform - Thoughts?


You can externalize I/O with one program but the question is
why would you want to do that?


SQL does everything you can do in file I/O times 1000. Waste of time.


Alan, you appear to be eyeballing low-code development platforms through an
SQL lens. But I don't see the connection, except perhaps to the degree that
low-code development platforms may use SQL under the covers.

Low-code development is more configuration. In the event that code is
needed, a developer might assign the name of a DB table, SQL view, or
logical file to a program variable. But the low-code platform would have
already built the way that those database objects would be accessed
dynamically at runtime, based on a design of an application template.
