Object-oriented programming

[Streetwise]

Hi,

can anyone tell me what is the difference between object-oriented programming (Java) and RPGLE?

Cheers

Re: Object-oriented programming

It's object versus procedural. RPGLE is procedural like C (dare I say cobol or Pascal).

from a high view rpgle does not do the inheritance, polymorphism and such....
But rplge is much better and shorter (in code length) to do data base stuff.
RPGLE does can behave like DLL and EXE in the windows world.


This is just a very simple view. There is plenty more. I'd also add that you can use java stuff from with in RPGLE. Like the HSSF and JDOBC.
