Is this for users, "power users", or programmer/developers? For some of those
groups, SyncSort (not sure of the new names yet) or DFSORT provide pretty good
reporting capabilities and great performance.

There is RPGII on z/OS and z/VSE.
There was an RPGIII that was on the S/38.
There was RPGIV i.e. RPG400 that was AS/400 centric.
As to your question, NO, RPGII has not changed in MANY years. Until
