RE: Dot Naming works with *SYS Naming in V7R1.

I know that if you are using SEQUEL, and it's sister product Viewpoint, the
dot is what you get when you design views in Viewpoint. That feature has
been there for years. If you are using an older version of Aldon, stick with
the slash.

As for me, it's just not worth using the dot just to make your younger
programmers happy. Or the off-shore programmers.

Subject: SQL: Dot Naming works with *SYS Naming in V7R1.

We put on the V7R1 cume level 12279 and I just noticed that in SQL dot
naming works when using *SYS naming convention.

SELECT * FROM QIWS.QCUSTCDT works. Of course, so does SELECT * FROM
QIWS/QCUSTCDT. (I've verified this on the green screen, in Surveyor/400
and a .NET app.)

If using *SQL naming, SELECT * FROM QIWS/QCUSTCDT does *NOT* work.

I'm not sure how long this has been in place, since we haven't put on a
cume since we went to V7R1 last November and maybe it has been there
since V7R1 and I just missed it. Any comments, anyone?
