System I's from IBM.

That is our policy as well.  It follows the addage "If it ain't broke, 
don't fix it, but if you are screwing with it, convert it... " :)

Too bad we just got news the the iSeries is being replaced here in favor 
of a new system... of which what it is no one knows...

That is a wonderful policy, and one I think most people need to consider
embracing.

Our policy on switching from RPG III to RPG IV is like so.  We do not
have a project to convert each RPG III program over to RPG IV.  However,
if we have to modify a program that is written in RPG III we are to
convert it over to RPG IV first then make our modifications.
