Speaking of RPG.... was :Re: Is IBM RPG classic?

Hi all, This discussion brought up some memories. Until I retired, I was in the media conversion business (read : handling media Windows did not support). One of my customers was the danish Custom and Tax authority, and they had a peculiar problem. They wanted the incoming data to be verified before the data was forwarded to the mainframe, so they did not have to search through boxes of media when errors were found, in order to be able to return the medium to the supplier. The software used for the conversion, was called 'Intermedia for Windows'. Apart from being able to do normal conversions, there was the possibility to lead the data through a customer-defined DLL, before being written to the ouputfile. So what I had to do, was to develop a Windows DLL, doing whatever was specified by the customer, including writing errorlists, table look-ups and other niceties. And as the customer had RPG-II experience in-house, the job was clearly defined. This was accomplished by writing an RPG-II editor, written in Delphi. A program would then interprete the RPG-II source, and would then compile it into a DLL. Surprisingly, it worked quite well /Nico On 2019-12-16 15:24, Guy N. via cctalk wrote:
