At some places, yes.  And while I don't agree with that personally, I can
see some places using that as a criteria provided there are still a suitable
number of qualifed applicants.

Unfortunately there are some people which instead of really having 30 years
experience, what they have is one year's experience thirty times.  In other
words, they still code using RPG III (or II <g>) techniques writing
monolithic, indicator-ridden programs in a style which is hard to maintain.
I think those of us who frequent the list are not a good representation of
the stereotypical person who has been coding RPG for 20+ years.
