Re: QGLDSVR won't end

Precisely

I've thought that the 3-letter "words" are derived using something like SOUNDEX principles - not all, mut bost. Please don't beat me up here - I know that I don't know that much about soundex. But leave out most vowels, and leave out sounds that contribute little to the understanding.

In this case, SVR is almost the word, "server" - the first R is almost silent, and all vowels other than initial ones are dropped.

SerVeR --> SVR

That does not quite work for me with service and SRV,

It also does not help that SOUNDEX('Service') in SQL comes out as S612 and 'Server' as S616

OK - time to learn what I'm talking about - hope a little of this was on point.

which of SVR or SRV implied Service and which implied Server. Perhaps SVC
for service?

How about standard CL abbreviations as documented in Appendix D of the CL Programming manual?

SVR = Server as in STRTCPSVR.

SRV = Service as in CHGSRVA.

Not all job and program names follow this standard (because it applies to CL) but the enlightened ones do.
