RE: Can I use DDS to create an SQL table name

I do not see IBM ever pulling the plug on DDS unless it becomes a serious
OS migration. Like S/36 to OS/400 serious. But perhaps we differ on the
definition of 'pulling the plug'. SEU was both a good and a bad example.
Good in the fact that, yes, IBM stopped enhancing it. Bad in the fact
that the languages that used to be supported by SEU are still evolving
past SEU and you can no longer get syntax checking on much of those
language features. SEU was only an editor while RPG was a language. It
was SEU that stopped being enhanced, not the languages. DDS would be more
like the 'languages'.
True, IBM has dropped some languages, like Fortran and Basic. And has
tried like H E double hockey sticks to drop S/36 compatible RPG. And
there's the rub. If they can't even drop that, how will they ever drop
DDS?
