:I think that's an excellent idea.
:
:Considering the history of RPG I think a good name would be Phoenix.
:
:On the AS/400 it could be abbreviated PHX, as in CRTPHXPGM.

:       I was just thinking that maybe RPG (Report Program
:Generator) should be
:       renamed. . .
:
:       Not that we need one more name change within IBM, but
:in reality most of the
:       name changes that have happened were because the
:initial name didn't
:       adequately describe what the product was or the product
:was named
:       prematurely.  Maybe the acronymn just needs to be
:changed to include more
:       buzz word's -- Reliable, Progressive, Guaranteed.
:
:       I don't know when RPG first came about, but I am
:guessing that todays RPG is
:       a far cry from where it started.  Maybe when they allow
:us to create our own
:       data types they can name it Rava (instead of Java;-).

:       Just thinking out loud,
