Gary,

Yep that is what I remember from Rise as well, and like you I found 
it too slow. I wrote
a couple payroll systems, AP/AR/GL, some inventory programs and a 
slew of other
things. I learned RPG at 16 or 17, so I don't consider myself old. :D

I always felt that when you tried to write the more complex stuff in RPG that
it became faster and easier to write in Cobol, although I think I did 
try RPG with
VPLUS once or twice.
