RE: RPG and SQL Compilers

     Hey Richard,
     
     Does getting paid to yank the System 3 15D and all its 
     printers/platters/cards/readers/crap out of storage, into the 
     pickup and out to the landfill qualify me as an oldie? <g> That was 
     VERY hard work!
     
     Eric

If you were paid to work on a system 3 mod 10, you are old.  Get over it.

Our first system was a S/3 Mod 10 with 16K memory.  The salesrep 
commission program only compiled with "overlays".  Took almost 2 hours 
to run each week.  Finally got management to spring for another 8K 
memory.  Same program ran in 5 minutes.
     
I feel old. <g>
