Re: Here is a job (contract) AS400, Cobol

Ok, Mr. Albight, I will give you a "That-a-boy".  You are barking up
the RIGHT tree... almost...  I love the DAIL-IN part...  I have done
a couple of these gigs, cobol from mainframe to midrange...  I am
better and prefer RPG...  Plus, I am on a project in INDY...

BUT YOU DESERVE a BIG "That-a-boy" for comming so close.  I am sure
you hit the mark for someone out there.
