About Rpg
RPG was created in 1959 by IBM to simplify the process of generating business reports. It evolved from a simple report generator into a full-fledged programming language used for various business applications on IBM systems. Its initial purpose was to streamline data processing tasks, making it easier for businesses to manage and analyze their data.
RPG's strengths include its efficiency in handling business applications, strong integration with IBM iSeries systems, and ease of use for data processing tasks. Its weaknesses are a limited modern developer community, less flexibility compared to newer languages, and reliance on IBM hardware. Competitors include COBOL, Java, and modern languages like Python and C#.
