About Rpg Iv
RPG IV, an evolution of the original RPG language, was developed by IBM in the early 1990s to enhance business application programming on AS/400 systems. It introduced free-format coding and integrated language environment capabilities to improve flexibility and programmer productivity.
Strengths of RPG IV include its robust integration with IBM i systems, efficient handling of business data processing, and ease of maintaining legacy code. Weaknesses involve a steep learning curve for new developers and limited portability outside IBM environments. Competitors include COBOL, Java, and modern enterprise languages like C# and Python.
