RE: cost estimate for a GUI pilot

This is a problem all over.

One vendor I won't specifically name now but Paul and we share, pretty much refuses to modernize any of their application. I rewrote a part of billing which does an OPNQRYF (x 99 threads) that pegs the system CPU every time with a single embedded SQL statement.
SQL access vs. RLA access showed 1000% improvement. I showed the code to their head architect and his comment was who would they have to maintenance the SQLRPGLE program.

So why make it so difficult and keep pushing RPG/COBOL/Native solutions
away?

Be nice to Aaron. He's doing a good thing bringing Ruby and Rails to the
platform. Something needs to urge the RPG community from their comfort
zones - which in the case of green-screens is like being stuck in a rut.
Add to that the technical debt accumulating in dead code and monolithic
design, and we really have a big problem.
