RE: Difference bet. Primary and Full procedural file.

It all depends on the background of the person in charge, some managers are
"un-schooled" themselves and fail to grasp the benefits of keeping their
staff up-to-date.  I was in a situation where our software leadership told
us not to use RPGIV  because he didn't know it and that SQL provided a
"security risk".  We had asked to start using both languages many years ago.
Now development has been handed over to a group of bright staff at
headquarters and quess what?  They are ALL using RPGIV and SQL.  'Tis a
tragedy.

Still thinking on my last post...

Doesn't it seem odd that companies who can get past the initial high cost of
the AS/400 platform because they can see the long-term total cost of
ownership (TCO) find it difficult to see the benefit of keeping their IT
staff up-to-date in the technology?
