IBM has completed the review of "RPG V" and will potentially release it along with IBM i version 8.
From my experience with them, the only new component I know of is the move to completely free format; not as an option but as the standard.
My Wish List
1. Integrated Embedded SQL
2. Any-type parameter on sub-procs
3. Additional %Built-in Functions:
o %Joblog
o %SndPgmMsg
o %SbmJob or %Spawn
o %ToUpper and %ToLower
o %XLate enhanced to handle CCSID-only:
myData = %xlate(37 : 819 : myData)
o %StdOut
4. Implicit conversion of numeric to character/character to number in expressions
5. Native Teraspace storage model only (up to 10 TB currently)
6. Elimination of RPG Cycle unless explicitly requested via kwd
7. Understanding/translation of native C language prototypes by the compiler.
o No need for RPG prototypes for C functions
8. Integrated UTF-8 and UTF-16 support
9. Built-in IFS file system I/O opcodes or built-in functions
10. Ability to generate code using these features to n-2 (*PRV support)
