But do you see people banging out ILE RPG for the S/36 environment?

Actually with a S36 RPG II program you must have the OCL file statement for
all files, even if the object name is the same in the F spec and does not
contain the dot.  And no the S36 will not fail, but all S36 applications I
have ever seen us the dot to separate the system from the file name.  i.e.
AR.CUST is the customer file for Accounts Receivable.  If IBM said today,
You can not put a dot in an object name, all S36 applications, I have ever
seen, would have to have their files renamed and the ocl file statements
update to the new file names.  That is what I meant by the S36 environment
would fail.  I just wish that IBM would be more consistent on object naming
rules.  If the object can have a dot, all applications that reference the
object should be allowed to use it with the dot.  That is what bugs me.
