RE: EMAIL Syntax Validation

HA!!!

Everything here is 36, I am not a contractor I am full-time.
Every single thing is 36 except for the occasional web project I do, but 
then it has to be straight LE w/WebFacing for the UI.


I used to like coding.....

RE: EMAIL Syntax Validation






I have one client using RPG36.   He's not religious about it, its just the
budget is limited.  New development is RPGIV.

 

Other than that I can not imagine a shop willingly staying with RPGIII? 
Are
you saying there are such shops?

Bob,

 

Don't take this personally as it's not meant to be but...

 

Every time I hear, "I'm just a contractor, I have to do as the client

wants."

 

It bugs the crap out of me.  It often seems to be the contractor taking

the easy way out.  Sometimes, because the contractor doesn't really

understand the "right" way.  But usually, the contractor doesn't care as

long as he get paid.

 

Granted, I've got a day job...so the contracting I've done is on the

side, I don't depend on it. But I for one, would never accept a job

involving new development where at minimum RPG IV couldn't be used.

 

I can't believe there's that many clients out there still insisting on

RPG III that you can't say no and stay in business.  I think the problem

is nobody wants to say NO and true down the money.

 

How about it all you full time self employed consultants out there:

  Do most of your clients insist on RPG III?

  Have you ever turned down a project due to a irrational RPG III

requirement?

  Do you really try to show your RPG III clients the benefits of RPG IV

and/or ILE RPG?

 

 

If so many clients still insist on RPG III, then we have only ourselves

to blame.
