Joe,

I have more than 30 year experience on midrange programming (RPG),
and more than 10 years in OOP.

do not forget that RPG is a REPORT GENERATOR PROGRAM, not a language.
OO is another world that cannot be compared...

Simply OO programming thake 10% of the time compared to RPG, very easy 
on maintenance etc.

Sorry for my bad english.
