Mark;

Im not offended, I see what John sees every day. We have 20 RPG programmers
in this shop, most haven't learned any new RPG capabilities since they
graduated, none are on any technical lists, and only 5 use WDSC/RDI/CODE.

There are only 3 other programmers here whose programming interest/knowledge
is not pitiful IMO.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm really taking offense to his [john
e] broad characterization of RPG programmers...

Ok, maybe i encountered two, in my 20 yrs of RPG experience...

But i encountered many on this forum with (some) OO knowledge, or
programming knowledge / interest in general.

This forum is in no way representative of RPG programmers.

I suppose that every knowledgable RPG programmer (i.e. is interested in
programming in general) reads this forum.

The programming knowledge / interest of the average RPG programmer is
embarrassing...

John

You have encountered one now - who has known of that stuff for years.

Namespaces / overloading has nothing to do with OO.
OO is all about encapsulation.
You don't encapsulate anything with namespaces/overloading.

OORPG... please

First try to make the current version of RPG a bit more sane...

And why bother, i never encountered an RPG programmer who even heard

about terms like "encapsulation" or even "variable scoping", let alone use
it.
