Not really true.  Many shops still use RPG/36 and are still in business.  I love
RPG IV but that is just me.

Pardon my language.  Poppycock.  You can still use 8 digit numeric dates and
achieve everything.  Date data types can still be used in intermediate
calculations and you still can have zero dates and whatever in your numeric date
fields.  It is important to remember there is no one solution to any problem but
just variations.
