Re: About prospects of AS/400 !!!!!

["Rick Staebler" <Linda_Rick_Staebler@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe the 400 is deeply rooted and will be around for a long time. It
will continue to change over time but some variation of it will be here. I
think the real question is regarding RPG. No one knows if JAVA is really
going to replace it or just another "fad" language. But even there with the
"million miles" of RPG code out there someone needs to maintain it.
