VAX RPG Versus VAX RPG II
In 1991, in a classic case of corporate miscommunication, Digital's Center for Migration Services was instructed to prepare for the transition of VAX RPG II customers to Migration RPG in anticipation of the retirement of VAX RPG II. As part of the program to ease customer transitions, Migration RPG compatibility with VAX RPG II was enhanced and Migration RPG was renamed VAX RPG. When at the eleventh hour the VAX RPG II transfer to a third party was announced, Migration RPG was reassigned its old name. However, by this time versions 1.0 and 2.0 of VAX RPG had already been released. Thus was created the confusion in product names that persists to this day. VAX RPG II is the product developed internally by Digital. VAX RPG is Migration RPG under a different name.
