Mark, I didn't mean to come off so whiny (sp?).... I have several RPGIV,
ILE, SQL, etc. books that I will absorb, even JAVA and HTML are on my list
of things to do, and on my bookshelf. I have gone to seminars, and read
numerous articles. I have never been 'allowed' to use current technology at
any client or employer. Forced was a poor choice of words on my part. I
should have said, I hope I get the opportunity to use the latest and
greatest, at a real client, on a real system, soon! Your place sounds like
a great opportunity for that consultant. I am currently rewriting an old
icky system into a better old icky system at the clients demand. When I am
finished, I intend to rewrite the whole thing again on my Timeshare
account, this time making my self use the latest and greatest, on my own
time, on my own dime, and show it to him again. I hope this experience with
bring me up to the current standards of programming. I know I need to
upgrade and make current my skill set. I was just pouting out loud. I got
something out of Bucks message that he did not intend to say, and we have
exchanged a few very encouraging emails chatting the whole thing out.
Things are well with the world again....

Kathie,
Why not do something on your own instead of having to be forced? I feel a
person in our business should always be looking for better and easier ways
to accomplish things.

I really really really do hope I get forced into using the newest, latest
and
greatest some day! The sooner the better!

That's okay, Kathie, but you will have to learn ILE when you get
the consulting job at the company that uses ILE.
I don't believe, especially for consultants, that you have the
choice anymore to use or not use ILE, it's going to be forced on
you when you run into it.
Just as C programmers who maintain other's code are forced to learn
OOPs and program in C++. I just hope I am never forced to learn
C#.
