I remember matching records, mult op code taking more memory in a subr than
in-line-code, mrt
programming - and I miss the days of freaking out the operators on the S/36
with code that
would turn on and off all the control panel lights (now that was good clean
fun ;) back in
the days when I was young and so where the operators)

We had an instructor that force feed us the cycle, if you did not know it by
heart, you
did not graduate.

Now, I only use it if I am lazy, (say a quick pgm to update a field from one
file to another,
or some silly 10 line program (since we do not have sql here, or at most
places I have been))

The 400 has changed many things  - I look forward to many more years of
helping a company
do better, and mostly to help make some one else's job easier and more
efficient.
