Actually, I rather agree with that, but when you're working across 75+ 
machines and you didn't write the original code, it behooves you to find a 
naming convention that won't step on the existing field names.  In 
addition, I can easily scan/replace these wierd names if I need to.  As 
ugly as they are, it beats trying to write RPG apps that use a Synon 
database!  :-)
