RE: AS/400 RPG Business analyst - what tasks do they do?

I've had "analyst" in my title for a long time. Getting it had more to
do with the pay band I was in than actual duties. I've also noticed that
job titles for techie folks seem to have little to do with what that
person actually does and the same title can have different meanings at
different companies (and if the company is large enough, it may even
have different meanings within different divisions of the same company).

I was an Operations Business Analyst in a prior life.  I was sent out to
talk to users, determine needs, write programming specs (sometimes write
the program), test the program, install it into production, update the
user profile to be able to use the program, train the user to use the
program... About the same thing I'm doing now without a title.
