Re: IBM I as a web server?

Having worked with many shops, I have to agree Alan is correct here.

Most RPG programmers I have worked with came from sysops or Query gurus
(note, I did NOT say DB gurus) who wrote code, not programs. But also, on
the other side of the coin, the stuff worked pretty well. Otherwise we
still wouldn't be talking about RPG.

"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.

Concerned about 15 year old technology? That sounds rather strange,

coming

from an RPG programmer.
