Have the candidate write a short program that uses embedded SQL to pull
some
records from a file of your choice and display them in a subfile of your
own
design-specs.

That's a hands-on test that will demonstrate immediately if the person
knows
what they are doing or not.

The manager on my new project has asked me to derive a list of RPG
technical
questions for a programmer interview she is conducting later today. The
company is coming off of two old platforms (COBOL and Lansa) and their
intent is to do all development in RPGIV, /Free and embedded SQL. They
have
been burned previously by a programmer or two who represented mucho
experience only to find that they did not know sh** from Shinola.

If you have questions to submit which are thoughtful and moderately
involved, please send them to me offline at RWMunday@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks,
