In my opinion, the problem is, far too many RPG/400 programmers were "fat, dumb and happy" and continued to just stick their head in the sand

Heh. Before my boss jumps on me, I better add that I wasn't trying to imply anything as a 'problem'. It just seemed a little out of the ordinary to an API regarded as easier to use/understand than CL.

Way too often we've seen posts that mention using WRKACTJOB *PRINT or some similar CL command and processing the spooled file after CPYSPLF rather than tackling relevant APIs. This case seemed to look in a different direction.

Refreshing, if nothing else.
