Since when does corporate America look past the next quarter's earnings?<tic>

RPG IV or RPG V will be there for another 20 years. If people move to
non-5250/non-green screen applications. If they don't then I'm afraid he is
correct.

HI - This is a Friday topic. But, I was having a conversation w/ the
company Controller. He indicated that he was concerned regarding the long
term support for the RPG language. He is not an IT guy, but is very
industry savvy.

I immediatly laughed and said no way, the support will always be there.

Then he got me to thinking, what if he is right?

Does anyone else share this concern?

Steve
