Yes, IBM needs to learn how to name fields for RPG IV rather than simply port
the RPGIII code to RPG IV and leave it. In fact, the RPGIII code appears to have
been generated from the C prototypes (some kind of converting I imagine) which
did a pretty basic conversion, sadly.
Maybe someday IBM will provide new /COPY's that have good, meaningful names and
use Integer data types instead of the stupid "B" fields.

Bob,

You are correct of course - my bad - brain-fart, as ever. But the point
about meaningful field names (ErrBytesAvail instead of QUSBAVL) still stands
(he says, trying to salvage his dignity...).
