Our 3 local Habitat for Humanity chapters are talking about merging together
and having a paid staffer handle the project management. They've already
asked me to consider the job.

I got my letter from SSA earlier this year about being eligible to collect
Social Security now. And with the new health care law provision allowing
early retirees to get affordable insurance I'm seriously considering taking
them up on it next summer.

I also have my printer spacing ruler, which doesn't work so well with the
proportional printing. As well as printer and screen layout forms. I
sometimes use the backs of these for note taking. I still code everything
in writing before starting WDSc or (shudder) SEU. I find a lot of errors
while writing and entering the code (not all, mind you, but a lot).

And pretty soon, that'll be gone, too. :-))

I'm at the point where I'm thinking about getting out of IT altogether.

Oh, I still have my debugging templates. About the only thing they're good
for is as a quick reference for the Output edit codes (after 35 years I
still can't recall any from memory except 'J').

Heh. I just uncovered a folder containing RPG II debugging templates.

Ironic, but I tossed all of my /36 manuals about a month before I applied
for my current job. Ironic because we live in the 36 environment here. The
only thing I still have (must have overlooked it when I was cleaning up) is
the Procedures and Commands summary. I could swear (and often do) that I
had a link to an OCL manual. But the closest I can come right now is a S/32
manual at www.bitsavers.org. It doesn't even cover ?R? (that I could find).
Maybe the /32 didn't have prompting.

The worst case of substitution and parameter passing I ever saw was an IBM
package on the /34. Proc-A might have // INCLUDE PROCB ?1?,?2?,?3? and
Proc-B might then have // INCLUDE PROCC ?2?,?1?,?4R? so that by the time you
got to PROCC what was parameter 2 is parameter 1 to that procedure, etc.
Really ugly and a pain in the arse to debug.

It retrieves it from the screen IF it wasn't passed in. For example, if
your procedure name is DUDE then you could type in
DUDE A,B,D,E
?1? = A, ?2?=B and so on.
