Stuck in the 1970s?  errrr.....  That was a long time ago.  The AS/400 is
not a 1970s machine, nor is it's operating system.   If you really are
talking about the RPG cycle, you should study what it does for you and for
your structure.  btw, a real nice benefit of the AS/400 is that it runs
more than RPG.  It'll do FORTRAN, COBOL, RPG, and C++, so you get a system
that can deal with you on your own level of comfort.  (I'm not sure of the
status of C++ but if its not publicly here yet, it can't be far away.)
