What you're missing is how well the business people are protected from the
techies. They could care less about zillion character object names. They
just want the system to work.

Subject: Re: power line (AS/400) article in computerworld

the spirit of the article and comments reads as an embrace of the operating
system of the 1990s. The hardware people at IBM are doing world class work.
The software team is what is holding us back now. SLS is aged with its 16meg
segment limit and the inablility of pointers to stay valid between IPLs. ILE
has not been improved in 10 yrs. 10 char limit on object names is bad, Fix
it, ok.
