I disagree about the 3 years.  We have new people here, (sons of another
programmer), who are quite proficient with RPG.  They use screens,
subprocedures, service programs, free format, imbedded SQL, ...

Granted, they don't know it all, however, who does?

Learning a language well enough to use its benefits is not a matter of a
few
hours time on a couple of weekends.  It takes at least 3 years of
intensive
and hard work with plenty of experience.  Of course anyone can crank out
their first "Hello World" program sooner but to be a worthwhile programmer
in the business environment in less then 3 years does not happen anywhere
but in the mind of the self-important.

Your comment about lack of ambition is just to insulting to respond to.

..I can see your point of going to VARPG if your shop is entirely RPG
programmers with little ambition to learn a different language....
