I am questioning the need to learn it because I have been an iSeries programmer since 1992 and in my 22 years of employee and consulting time on the machine, I have yet to meet anyone that programs in MI or at least no one that talks about it. Since MI programmers seem to be that rare, I was trying to figure out why I would want to learn it as opposed to learning something else. I'm a consultant. I want to spend my learning time where it is going to pay off in a higher hourly rate. Based on the comment "there are problems for which MI is a better fit than RPG", can you give me some specifics? -----Original Message----- From: C400-L [mailto:c400-l-bounces-Zwy7GipZuJhWk0Htik3J/[email protected]] On Behalf Of Buck Calabro Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 10:08 AM To: c400-l-Zwy7GipZuJhWk0Htik3J/[email protected] Subject: Re: [C400-L] Why program in MI?
