Re: Dark side of the force

I don't get it. Why RPG with DB2? Why not SQL and Java on DB2? Is this because of legacy RPG that's why shops still use RPG today? Or is there an advantage to using RPG ( Report Program Generator )?

I used to work for this company that couldn't find enough RPG programmers, they had to find a few dozen from a different country.
