RE: Technical Interview

Eric raises a good point.  Does a programmer have to know about communications? 
 starting and stopping an AS/400?  What if the programmer is well versed in 
arrays, the RPG cycle, file design, troubleshooting, screens and screen design, 
subfiles, and is wonderful with users, but doesn't know a bif from a trigger 
from a data queue?  Does this mean this programmer is not worth hiring for a 
y2k conversion project?  Does it mean the programmer isn't a good programmer, 
or is not at an advanced skill level?
