On the IBM certification tests, rumors are that for the RPG test you NEED

TO KNOW ILE/RPG and RPG/4/400...  Evidently some took it and were

thinking it was a general RPG test and their list of questions was really

heavily skewed with the NEW op cods and RPG/4/400 stuff...you read

between the lines here...

bummer.  These are nice features I supppose but what do they have to do
with RPG and the AS/400?  Why is IBM turning RPG into C++?  They already
have C++ and Java, why  do they need a third C++ language?  If a client
wants C++ code then let him hire C++ programmers, not RPG professionals.

Sorry if I sound upset, but somewhere along the line somebody has to write
code, including Y2K.   Learning new "neat stuff" day after day costs
somebody a lot of time, production, and money.
