39/19 (20 yrs in May)  I cross trained on a S/34 for two months, then went 
upstairs to learn System/38 and never went back to the 34.  Learned CLP, RPG, 
etc. on System/38.

I'm too frikin' burned out now though.  Can I go home? (ha, ha)  Would like to 
retire by the time I'm 50 (God willing!)

I vividly remember when I first started programming on the S/38 that the
senior programmers used to have arguments about whether to use the cycle or
open the file under User Control....

It's there - be aware of it, but I would tend not to use it except for one
shots. I pretty much agree with Jon's argument as I prefer to see code that
tells you explicitly (within reason) what it is doing.

Cheers
Evan Harris
