Using RPG and RDMLX in one schema

Hi,
is it possible to combine LongRange programs created with RPG and LongRange functions created with Lansa RDMLX in one single schema?
Or do I need one schema for LongRange RPG and another one for LongRange RDMLX?
Many thanks in advance,
Joerg

I don't think this would be possible because the client would need to reference two completely different systems at the same time.

Sorry, to answer your question, you would need one schema for RPG and one for LANSA RDMLX.

Interesting question .
Short answer is no.
LongRange-RPG and LongRange-LANSA use radically different execution platforms and architectures.
However LANSA can call RPG (and RPG can call LANSA) - but if a LANSA formview is executed (say) in LongRange and it calls an RPG program that tries to use the RPG/COBOL/CL LRNG_XXXXXXX APis they would not function correctly because the underpinning execution platform required to support 5250 session based RPG programs is not present.
What do you need to achieve?
