I agree completely.  We have TONS of RPG II and RPG III code still 
active and used on a daily basis by our users.  It just doesn't pay to 
spend the time/money rewriting code that's not broken.

However, we don't develop new code in RPG III.  And if we make anything 
but the most trivial change to an existing RPG III program, we convert 
it to RPG IV, since we're going to have to re-test it anyway, it doesn't 
hurt us to convert it.

The OP, on the other hand, appears to be learning the basics of RPG III 
for the first time.  That's a very different thing to me.
