On your first thought -- IANAL, so I can't comment on which way is better or
safer. But companies have expensive lawyers for good reasons. So long as they
do their job and keep the company whole in the edge cases, I am content.

Chris,
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
about 1998, the last APAR was in the mid-80's. Then, about 1998, there

Two thoughts:
- Shmuel is certainly right that you need to worry that if there is a
bankruptcy -- not a sure thing; he might just drift away without formal
bankruptcy -- you have an uphill battle NOT having the source code treated
as an asset. The whole point of bankruptcy is tearing up all of
Back in the 80s - I indeed use RPG III - I am sure (okay I hope) it is more
advanced in the past 36 years ...

Chris,
Please don't hit me for this, but RPGII with it's *auto feature can
produce multi-level reports with very little code. And, there are still
people that know how to write RPGII, although most of them will be in
VSE shops were it is still used a lot. And, it's cheap.

Have your lawyers verify that the escrowed source code can't be treated as an
asset during bankruptcy.

In my mainframe career, I used DYLAKOR, Eztrieve, Earl and SAS. This one
looks even better. If I still had access to a z/OS system, I would get
the 30 day free trial just to see how good it really is.
I would have two requests for the vendor: Can you provide a z/VM

Hi Chris,
I know nothing about this company/software and their claim, we're in the same
boat and I found them while researching. I haven't tried their software yet.
Here's their claim:
Z-Writer is the quick-code utility for z/OS mainframes. Its native syntax is
very similar to competing
Not sure if this is your issue but worth a try. Check your compiler options as
they sometime can make a difference. Do you have NODYNAM or DYNAM coded.
Coding the wrong option can lead to a S806. Had a user at my shop have a
similar issue for a different entry point and when they changed to
