Now if you can only get him to delegate programming to the programmers. :)

I read a lot on the list about companies that either don't allow their
programmers to use "new" things like ILE or /Free.  There are posts about
other companies where they can use them but the programmers choose not to.
My boss (a traditional RPG guy who rarely writes programs anymore) just
called me to his office to ask a question about ILE and /Free.  We are
upgrading our bar-code scanning software and it needs a new interface to
our EDI package.  He was starting to write it but instead of coding it from
scratch in RPG/400 he copied one of my programs that was written in /Free
and was modifying it.

Score one for the good guys!
