It may be "valid" in your shop - but doesn't it sadden you to be  
paying maintenance fees to a software company that are too lazy/greedy/ 
uncaring/whatever to make the trivial updates needed to the tool to at  
least have it generate RPG IV?

For goodness sake the damn thing could run the generated code through  
CVTRPGSRC _before_ it showed it to you if they gave a rats posterior  
about the future of their customers!

Not that I feel strongly about ISVs that force their customers to live  
in the past you understand ...
