Let me guess.  You saw the following
DbMYPROC   PI
If so, then it means nothing special.  Some people like to use a mix of
upper and lower case.  A common variable notation is to begin a variable
with a lower case p to indicate a pointer, from the "Who knew you could do
that with RPG..." redbook.  Maybe this person likes b for binary?

If you saw the b before the D, then they are using it as a comment.  Some
people use the old reserved area for numbering for comments.

If this doesn't make sense, then send a piece of sample code from which
you saw this.

Hello *ALL

I've just started looking at some /free code and I notice
that when prototypes are defined in the D-Spec that
sometimes a lowercase b is next to the D.  Why is that
used and what benefit is gained from the lowercase b?
 TIA!!!
