Trying to find replacements is extremely hard. Almost all the schools

Its by all means not *ALL* a programmer issue its management as well.
To give you a brief flavor there were two VP's screaming at each
other in the middle of a work area. Thats how bad it is.
You might want to consider getting an experienced programmer with no
Cobol and locking them in a cube for a week with the Programmers
Guide and Programmers Reference.
Or you might want to consider training them!
Oh, nah, silly idea. Costs money.
