Re: Getting joblog messages in a program

A former manager (who has sadly passed), took a trip there over 20 years
ago to see the 1401. They were still working on it, but imagine their
surprise when the group found out that RPG was still an in use language. I
later sent them some "moden" sample code. It was a lot of fun.

You might be surprised. ;-)

Although professional use might indeed not be common nowadays.

Indeed. The Computer History Museum has a 1401 that has been lovingly
restored to working order. And it gets powered up and used more than our
V4 box. Or their own DEC PDP-1 does, for that matter.
