I hear you Dave. We just hired an App Pgmr from within our dept. We tried for so long to find a SysProg and could find one. So we had to hire from within and train that person. We are still unable to fill our other SysProg position here in San Antonio..............
Thanks everyone for their help on Systems Programmer Levels Justification.

I think many sysprogs are also application programmers, or started out in that position. I spent 9 months as a code warrior before switching to systems. I've coded quite a few assembler, cobol and cics apps in my position as a sysprog. Also, I sometimes debug applications when a programmer needs such assistance, ie stg violations. App programmers here don't have the knowledge to read dumps and xpediter doesn't always catch them.
