Re: Long-term RPG Contract in Detroit

Normally I don't like to get into these naming flames, especially with a nice guy like Jerry (who lives in my same county), but Mike may have something there about the perception.
However for a contractor, vs an "employee", does it much matter? Money is money. And it's not like you're making a long term commitment and leaving an existing job with it's possible benefits and comfort level for a leap into the abyss.

I think it may give you an indication of the code base that a contractor might encounter. AS/400? Bet it’s monolithic RPG with RLA. IBM i? Better chance of ILE, SQL, OSS.

But does it really matter what they call it? I have some accounts
that call their systems AS/400s and they have been on an actual AS/400 in years.

Pretty much covered it in the subject line. :) Though a local
consultant is preferred, we are open to "regional" resources as well.
This should last most of the year and possibly into 2020.
Development in a very up-to-date iSeries shop. They use Agile
methodology as well, so a team-oriented approach is required.
Thanks!
