Interesting post and likely to start religious wars!!

I thought I'd go outside the IBM i world and Google for "what is a modern programmer" - first hit that interested me has this statement, which I think is pretty worth looking at:

I submit to you that modern programming has little to do with the look of your desktop. Graphical user interfaces are only skin deep. Modern programming techniques are all about processes and actual tools, not the skin on top of them. I don’t care whether you are using Eclipse or Emacs… this tells me nothing about how modern you are.

The link is at https://lemire.me/blog/2017/07/15/what-is-modern-programming/ and is by a comp sci prof at University of Quebec.

I'm not sure I think that modern programming is about sending stuff to Twitter or to the web - that's maybe one aspect, the output side, but that isn't about my approach - I can do all that with bad technique, with the best or worst of us.

OK, I'll start ducking now!

Cheers
Vern

Been asked to show how I am programming as a MODERN RPG PROGRAMMER.

Would it be using completely FREE FORMAT from F specs to C specs.

Embedded SQL that is just dropped in the code.

No /Free statements.

Would like the groups thoughts.
