Re: QGLDSVR won't end

I can safely say that the three letter CL abbreviations, at least for the last 15 years and for those products that Rochester reviews, have been whatever Guy Vig said they should be :)

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.

deduce
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.
