I'm not sure I understand the use of the word "since" in the above sentence.
Isn't the company going to need a techie to run the machine? Unless there's a
specific reason to switch to RPG, i.e. you're going to use a specific package,
your programmers oculd easily stick with COBOL on the AS/400. You as the techie
probably have more justification for learning RPG than they do. Unless of course
you don't figure in the company's future plans, in which case it's probably
their loss and hopefully your eventual gain. Recycled mainframe systems
programmers make great AS/400 experts.

Good luck.
