RE: ?Withdrawal of RPG/400 compiler?

 >> And what's his BUSINESS reason for doing so?  If it works, why fix it?

If the definition of the word "works" means that _no_ maintenance _or_
upgrade tasks are _ever_ performed on the program I agree.

However - RPG IV is so compatible that should _any_ change be needed,
conversion should be a no-brainer.  Now you are in position to use the new
stuff where appropriate.  And worse case you've got more white space so the
program (which by your own definition will not be familiar) will be easier
to understand while performing the fixes/updates.
