RE: RPG, 10 years from now






In 1982, when I was in college learning RPG, I was told then (by the 
COBOL'rs) that RPG was a dead end language and there was no future in 
pursuing anything related to RPG....

Heck RPGII is still around. It was greatly discussed on this very forum 
this past month. 

RPG isn't going anywhere.

Ask your boss about DBASE, FOXPRO, ACCESS 2.0/95/97/2000/2003 etc. Those 
products have great long term support -as long as you don't mind 
re-writing/fixing/debugging the code after every upgrade ;)

Happy Friday!
