RPG

The Report Program Generator (RPG) language is developed by IBM for its popular 1401 computer in 1964. The reporting tool is created to run matching records and sub-total reports from data. Since then, RPG has been ported to many IBM platforms such as System/390, System 32/34/36, the AS400 series, and the Websphere platform. RPG's remarkable longevity as a business tool ranks with BASIC and COBOL.
