I love the RPG Cycle. It is fast, efficient, and simple to use when you need to process everything in a file. I stopped using it for interactive programs years ago but still have several audits that compare two files across two systems, (DDM) and it works beautiful. However none of our programmers here seem to be able to understand them. Sad when they all are older than I and used the cycle before I.

Subject: the cycle that never ends

I followed the posts on training new hires, and laughed to myself with
some of the comments only because many of those apply to me.
Today, a friend brought me an RPG book on training new hires, and it
states:
"Similarly, RPG still supports the "program cycle," although few RPG
programmers are old enough to remember how it works. "

Again, I laugh ... since I am one of the "few RPG programmers", but should
it not read..
"are wise enough to remember how it works:"

and should I be embarrassed to say, we still have some of those cycle
programs still running.... and with each upgrade, they still work :)
