What is the RPG cycle?

Answer Posted / svankipu

Simply put; RPG-Cycle is a default system cycle, which takes
care of all these below without having the programmer to
write the code

1)Opening a file(must be declared as PRIMARY)
2)Reading it & process it
3)Do any calculations/print reports automatically
4)Closes the files
5)Ends the program

this cycle is also called as RPG-Logic-cycle or
RPG-Life-Cycle or Default-Cycle or System-cycle.
Different people have different reservations about it's name.
