The upcoming RPG enhancements with PTFs for 7.3 and 7.4 were announced
today.

They'll be available soon, timed with the Fall 2020 TRs.

See https://ibm.biz/rpg_cafe#announcement

- Options to allow all-blanks and thousands separators for string
parameters for %DEC, %INT, %FLOAT etc.

- New %RANGE and %LIST built-in functions, and new FOR-EACH opcode

- Optionally require prototypes for exported procedures and for the
cycle-main procedure

- Debug the return value for a procedure

If I had to pick a fave, it would be the FOR-EACH opcode. Wait, no,
%LIST. Wait, no, debugging the return value.
