James,

As a company heavily involved in EDI we're also getting caught up in the XML
wave. Do you know of any 400 sites using XML currently?

Chris,

Your request for "any help" showed up this morning, time stamped at 7:50am,
it's now about 11 hours
later and I only see four responses and only one of which references a
text.  How sad.  Even sadder
is by the time the ink dried on that text it was outdated.

If I recall correctly, your request was for RPG naming conventions.   I
assume that you are looking
for standards for the purpose of future, ground up,  development.

There is a new "standard" emerging in XML.  IBM is behind XML big
time.  It's to be the EDI of
tomorrow.  And I'm willing to bet that the company you work for or client
does business with other
companies.

The purpose of XML is "naming" data elements.  So I guess that if your goal
is naming conventions,
an overview of XML evolution may be a good start point.  After all, if the
XML standard for vendor
name is VendorName, why not adopt it.  If the 10 character restriction
creates a problem, take a
peek at alias.

Happy Holidays to you and those near and dear,
James W. Kilgore
