RE: New RPG programmers

["Greg Garner" <ggarner_gds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This reply really raises the point.  Martin says that at his site "everyone
else is 45+..."

My clients are asking whether to enhance or rewrite their applications in an
iSeries language (RPG or Cobol) or do the work in a "modern" language.  It
doesn't do any good to "modernize" the languages if there are no streams
(not ones and twos) of young talent learning the stuff.

No grey hair here, too (thats no magic, since i'm 24 :) ).
I'm programming RPG since 3 years, before that I just did
network (PC) administration in linux an windows.
I also did and still do perl and PHP programming on linux.

But I guess i'm still "new" since nearly everyone else here at my
company is 45+ and codes for the as400 for more than 20 years.
