Report Program Generator
<tool> (RPG) An IBM programming language developed by {Wilf
Hey} at IBM in 1965 for easy production of sophisticated
large system reports.
RPG is a 3GL similar to COBOL, but more concise and
supposedly easier for non-programmers to use. It processes
its input one line at a time and does not treat tables as
conceptual entities.
It was popular on System 34/36 minicomputers.
Versions: RPG II, RPG III, RPG/400 for IBM AS/400. MS-DOS
versions by California Software and Lattice. Unix
version by Unibol. Cross-platform version by {J & C
Migrations} runs on MS-DOS, Windows, AIX, HP-UX, and
OS/390.
See also CL, OCL.

SPECIAL ROUTINE THAT CAN BE USED TO CONTROL THE ITERATION BEHAVIOUR OF A LOOP
Generator (computer science); Semicoroutine; Generator (JavaScript); Comparison of programming languages (generators)
In computer science, a generator is a routine that can be used to control the iteration behaviour of a loop. All generators are also iterators.

IBM RPG
RPG is a high-level programming language for business applications, introduced in 1959 for the IBM 1401. It is most well known as the primary programming language of IBM's midrange computer product line, including the IBM i operating system. RPG has traditionally featured a number of distinctive concepts, such as the program cycle, and the column-oriented syntax. The most recent version is RPG IV, which includes a number of modernization features, including free-form syntax.
