I personally have been coding for about 6 years, started with RPGIII, now using RPGIV (ILE) and I don't have any gray hairs yet (I hope not) and I"m 29 years old. Don't know if I'm considered "NEW" but I don't think I'm "OLD" at it. I went to school at Keyin College here in Newfoundland Canada and they use RPG as the language of choice for teaching, so I had two years hands on RPG before I even started.

New RPG programmers
Does the community see where the new crop of RPG programmers is coming
from?
A few long term iSeries sites are evaluating the "graying" of the
community
(see the MCPress survey).  They are deciding whether to invest in "new"
RPG
coders as employees and instead only use contractors as the resource.
