Re: Getting joblog messages in a program

A former manager (who has sadly passed), took a trip there over 20 years
ago to see the 1401. They were still working on it, but imagine their
surprise when the group found out that RPG was still an in use language. I
later sent them some "moden" sample code. It was a lot of fun.
