I always try to show my clients the 'right' way to do things, but one thing a contractor always has to keep in mind is maintenance. If I come into a shop and use more advanced techniques, I also have to train the staff in those techniques. Sometimes that's not possible. I always ask to see their standards, or at least review some of their code. > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: RE: EMAIL Syntax Validation > From: rob@xxxxxxxxx > Date: Fri, December 02, 2005 9:12 am > To: RPG programming on the AS400 / iSeries <rpg400-l@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > > We also have MasterCard and Visa and kids who like to eat to blame. > Personally RPGIII bugs the heck out of me.
