Please help me come up with some good examples as to what makes ILE better
than "business as usual". Here's what I've used so far:

1. It's faster - Rebuttal: doesn't matter we have plenty of cpu and our
machine screams as it is.
2. Service program equals reusability - Rebuttal: we can just use a
separate program for reusable code.
3. Local variables - Rebuttal: if they are inside a separate program it
doesn't matter.
4. System maintenance - Rebuttal: instead of service programs or
subprocedures we have separate pgms so it's the same thing.

It's not that the boss wants to stop us from using ILE, she just wants to
know what makes it so much better than plain 'ol RPG IV that she should
invest the man hours it's going to take to bring our whole dept up to
speed on ILE. And I just am not coming up with anything that's very
convincing.

So please, if you have any good arguments, let me know.

Thanks,

Dennis
