"Are the programmers really much more expensive than dba's or web
programmers??"

In a lot management/financial types they are, because the perception is a
System i programmer can ONLY do green screen and you are paying for OLD
skills.

"Show me a web programmer who can discuss the calculations necessary for an
MRP run. I have yet to see one who could produce a balance sheet."

Agreed but again to "those in charge" it's more important to make the
results from that MRP run or balance sheet, look pretty.......
