RE: Helas another nail in the RPG coffin

Most of the time.....management only looks at the direct costs and not
the indirect costs when making these decisions.

You've hit the nail on the head! The T and O are often overlooked,
since it seems that only the initial C is important!

We are one of this countries larger AS400 installations. I heard
yesterday that we are going to migrate to Intel technology. Why ? RPG ?
This is a problem for some of our prospects who would prefer Java based
solutions but the main reason is the AS400 which is too expensive thus
rendering us less competitive. The migration will take some time , but
all new stuff on theAS400 is now developed in Java so as to ease the
migration burden later on.
