Timothy Sipples said: "Which leads to an interesting thought exercise. In 2022 if you're trying to choose a programming language for business application programming that stands the best chance of being durable (being realistically maintainable, extendable, enhance-able) for the next 40+ years — a common requirement for many high value, nontrivial business applications — what programming language would you choose? I suggest Enterprise COBOL ought to be a candidate. (Any other nominations?)"
Enterprise PL/I, of course. :-) DJ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
