RPG400 has not seen any development, and has been deprecated for more than 15 years. (By contrast, it was actively developed and recommended for a total of only 6 years.) Computers have changed a lot in that time, and RPG/400 has not changed with them.

I don't think anyone here actively told him to change his technology, but rather they asked for more information as to why he's using this extremely outdated technology. I don't think that's unreasonable.

Sure, people still have to maintain legacy systems that use outdated technologies, so it's something that will come up occasionally. But when someone seems to be learning it at the 101 level, it's going to raise eyebrows.

Is this a RPG advice site or a re-education camp? This poor guy just
asked a small question and he gets 7 emails advising him to change the
format he is using.

I know you guys are passionate about the new techniques but cut him a
little slack.

It is almost like you are enforcing standards more than helping people
resolve issues.

Thanks, Chuck
