And you're saying that OS/400 commands are easier for OS/400 users.
No argument there, either.

Joe: With all due respect, you, sir, are jumping to conclusions. I
have never ever said that RPG is an inferior language. And I have
never ever said that OS/400 is an inferior operating system. Nor
would I want to imply that either were inferior, since clearly they
are not. (I'd like to think that I would have the integrity to look
for a new job if I ever felt otherwise about OS/400 and RPG.)

Joe, just because I say I like to use Perl and Python for hobby
programming does not mean I don't like RPG. Just because I say that
Python is a good language doesn't mean I think others are not. And
just because I prefer Linux for my own personal use does not mean I
think the iSeries is not an appropriate machine for others.

For many of us, the world is not "black or white".
