** This thread discusses the article: Are RPG Programmers RPG's Worst Enemy? **
Tom, I've been an IBM midrange consultant for 31 years and on my own for the last 25 years. I must have been fortunate that I've been able to continue to upgrade my skills and incorporate newer RPG features (RPGIV, subprocedures, service programs, /free), SQL, QShell, Email, and more at my clients. It's probably due to the fact I've worked at smaller shops or where I've been the sole developer.
The only advice I can give is for those stuck as described is to keep trying otherwise our system (AS/400, iSeries, i) will be put out to pasture and us along with it.
Thanks again for your thought-provoking article.
