RPG, which stands for Report Program Generator, is a easy to learn and understand programming language that is well suited for developing business applications.
 
 
 
There are four major versions of RPG currently in use... [[RPG II]], [[RPG III]], [[RPG 400]], and [[RPG 4]] (sometimes referred to as [[ILE]] RPG).
 
 
 
The [http://lists.midrange.com/listinfo/rpg400-l RPG400-L] mailing list hosted by [[midrange.com]] is for discussion of RPG programming.
 
 
 
[[RPG]] is available only on [[IBM Midrange]] platforms, this is because the technology has evolved over many years to leverage operating system resources. A comparison between [[RPG]] and [[Java]] can be made so long as [[Java]] is used in a developer framework or one of the available [[application servers]]. Unlike Java, however [[RPG]] contains language-level features for common business tasks such as database access. Also the operating system contains extensive support for debugging and run-time identification of [[RPG]] code.  The main perceived flaw with RPG is that it is not object oriented, nor does it contain direct support for [[GUI]] Graphical User Interface. There is a large established base of [[RPG]] code in production environments, usually performing heavy-lifting batch-oriented data tasks, or providing support for interactive [[ERP]] applications, either with native [[5250]] interface or with a [[GUI]] or Web [[Skin]] applied over the [[5250]] data stream.
