Hey JT,
I guess a point that I was making with this is... How
are we going to attract the 'fresh blood' to our
iSeries shops if all our applications are written in
old monolithic style RPG? Why would a new person want
to come in and maintain that old stuff?  Much less try
to develop using it.

If though, we start using the newer designs & features
of ILE RPG that can easily be integrated with Java and
the like, perhaps we can tempt a few young folks.  Not
to mention, keeping our own jobs in the process.
