  • Subject: Humorous Enhancements

Buck made the below comment which reminded me of a "unique" enhancement I saw 
recently:

<snip>
"Programmers sprinkling a few SELEC statements into the code won't
magically create new (modern) logic out of 20 year old code, that's for
sure." 
<snip>

I guess this one programmer was told to rewrite a certain program and 
"modernize" it specifically by removing the "go to's"...

So, throughout the entire program was the following line of code: 

1     CABEQ     1          (tag name)

Was this programmer ingenious, lazy, pushed for time??? 

Just thought you all might get a kick out of this...

Anybody seen any other "things" that make you stop and say "WHAT???"
