Re: Convert RPGIV to RPGIII or RPG/400

[G Armour <garmour400r@xxxxxxxxx>]

Frank, I have been in your shoes and I know *exactly* what you are talking 
about. 
Your other disadvantage may be the 4 years of experience.  I have 20 or so <g>, 
so
it wasn't my lack of experience, just the fact that I was the company newbie 
with a
colleague with 17 years in with the company.  It isn't hard to predict what 
happens
when the guy with 17 years in, who is the living (and only) AS/400 operations
archive, decides he doesn't need to advance to RPG-IV.  To be fair, he did not
design his job-for-life guarantee, but management tends to *ask* him whether
anything AS/400-related should be changed.  Nothing different happens on the 
AS/400
without his blessing.

I'm glad to be out of there.
