Re: New RPG programmers

No gray hairs here either (33 years old).  I've been involved with RPG
for about four years now, coming from a background in web development
and Visual Basic.

We grow our own programmers around here.  If someone shows an interest
in learning RPG, we teach them ourselves.  Obviously, that's going to
become an issue at some point (when we run out of people).

And we face the same problem as other shops with some programmers not
wanting to learn new techniques.  I hope it doesn't happen anytime
soon, but if IBM kills off RPG, those of us who like to learn will
move to whatever's left and others of us will be forced to retire.
