"Yet we write modern code". Maybe you are but my experience is that 99% of
the people who work on this machine are still writing code for 1985. Still
using subroutines, file I/O, program calls and internal print files. No
procedures, no modules, no service program, no SQL which is, of course, why
the machine is dying.

Exactly. That's my point. We RPG programmers are painted as living in
a GoTo world. Yet we write modern code for the most robust business
computer on the planet.

It concerns me that we might be wrapping ourselves in flags that are 15
years old. In the computer world, that's a whole bunch.

Concerned about 15 year old technology? That sounds rather strange,
coming
from an RPG programmer.
