Re: remove blanks

Jonathan,

I made the same assumption at first, too. But there are few schools (state side, anyway) that teach RPG and none of the dozen or so that I know of teach RPG III. I have no experience or knowledge of the level taught in other countries.
So it would seem, at least, that it is either a school *way* behind the curve or an organization (US or elsewhere) in the same boat.

Heck, I'm still babysitting an RPG II application here. I would convert it, but got too many new things (ILE RPG, of course) going to bother since it runs (adequately).

Jon Paris said that it "appears to be an outsourcing project". How?

I know I shouldn't, but I assumed it was coursework.

It's possible. What other explanation is there?

This is a joke right? You think the client has an AS/400 that's so old that it can't run V3R1?!

I'm not sure which machines fit that description. I guess a S/38
would...

who the heck spends money on outsourcing software development, but isn't

willing to buy a new computer in 30 years?

It could be that the client owns an older AS/400.
