Sorry, I should expand on my previous reply.  That wasn't nice.  :)

Then there's no need to say anymore.  It was a misunderstanding.  But I do
want to comment on one more thing.

Oh please.  20 years means nothing.  Actually it does.  It means you spent
more time with RPGII and III than using ILE and your RPG "base" is the older
languages.  I agree that I wouldn't use II or III for web programming, but
mix in ILE and it works great.  I've been programming for 22 years and I'm
only 30 years old.... hmmm...  That means RPG couldn't have been my first
language.

Programming business green screen apps doesn't mean you did CGI programming.
Write some RPG CGI apps, let folks critique your code (as I do on the JAva
list), then I'll accept your opinion of it.  That's not too much to ask.

Myself and many many others use RPG for CGI programming and find it quite
nice.  Then again, it is just our opinion, and you have yours.
