If you were designing from scratch, then I would say to learn the ILE stuff
right up front so that your design is more easily implemented.  Since you
have
to convert an old system with a "large project backlog" and that "must not
break", I would not recommend jumping into the ILE aspects.

Aaron:But part of the beauty of ILE is that you can do it piece at a time.
You don't have to        setup a whole system and have it fully functional
using ILE.  Write one sub-procedure and see how it benefits you and go from
there.

Write a sub procedure to capture the next invoice number.  That is pretty
simple, basic, and will take 10 lines out of your pgm making it easier to
read!
