RE: [Easy400Group] ILE RPG or RPG/400

I'd be amazed if any show up.  I simply don't believe it is true.  Every test I've ever seen says that (other in the very early days of RPG IV) an RPG/400 program converted to RPG IV runs faster.  In the early days there were a few isolated instances where the RPG/400 would outperform RPG IV but they were few and far between. 
 
At the time that RPG IV was introduced there were fairly strict development rules in place that said any new product (in fact each new release) had to perform comparably or better than the product it was replacing.  We did a lot of compiler tuning and run-time tweaking to meet those goals because it virtually took Papal dispensation to ship a product that did not meet that requirement.  I don't know if that still holds since I now longer work for IBM - but that was certainly the case when RPG IV was launched.
 
(And even if it were true - it would still not be a good reason to stick with RPG/400 <grin>)

Do you have statistics to back this up? If so, I'd like to see them.

Thanks,
