I understand it was a misrepresentation of the way IBM did it. My point
was to point out why I don't like appending new fields and leaving the
deprecated ones there.
And why a calculated field? Why not just make a bigger size field? Doing
so would allow an index to be built on it. And who picks a 10,0 packed
field for any application? Especially something like a size? Why did IBM
choose this for these two new fields versus any other value?
