I appreciate your joke, but there is a valid reason to be writing
legacy-style code, at least in our shop, since the JDE CASE tool generates
only RPG/400 source.
I can generate a new file, then create a fairly complex file
maintenance/data entry program for it (with a subfile) that is over 80
percent complete in less than an hour. It takes me longer to convert it
into RPGIV than it took to generate the code, so if we are trying to meet a
tight deadline I often just use the RPG/400 code as generated.

hi Rob,
Sometimes it really makes you wish that IBM would charge extra for the

There are perfectly valid reasons to still be writing new code using RPG
III.
Maybe the OP works for a historical society.
Kind of like a museum, or a place like Colonial Williamsburg where they
try to recreate the way things were done in previous generations for the
historical value.
They probably still churn their own butter, use a horse to plow the
fields, etc.
(This is a joke. Please take it as such.)
