We still write programs in COBOL, but we don't come across any issues that big
enough to post it in this article.

Please respond to
COBOL Programming on
the iSeries/AS400
We maintain a few old COBOL reporting programs but anything new we write in
RPG. All our interactive programs are in RPG. The only
reason we haven't converted the COBOL report progams to RPG is that we don't
want to let the "rust" get too thick on our knowledge of
COBOL just in case we change jobs and need it.

Well, either we are too clever, or we are a dying breed?
What if some of you could write someting about COBOL's future to this
list. What happends to COBOL? (ILE, OO, etc, etc...) Is it at all
interesting working with COBOL today? Or is it only us oldtimers
mantaining old systems who are using the laguage today? They do not learn
it in scools anymore...(it's decades ago..

ML:
This list is seldom active. In fact, it seems less active than it should
be even if a 5% estimate of penetration for COBOL in the AS/400 world is a
reasonable guess.
One post went by a few days ago; but I wasn't familiar enough with what
the poster wanted, so I let it go. The question seemed pretty narrowly
focused and best answered by someone who had done the same thing in the
past.
But that's been it for a while.
I'm not sure if that means COBOL programmers have fewer problems than RPG
programmers or not. Interesting thought.
