RE: RPG Reserved Words -- RPG400-L

I have found in the past that a lot of people find a good resource to get
answers to their questions ( such as this list ) and forget that there are
others. Search out all avenues of learning. I am only speaking from
experience. I have had this kind of tunnel vision way too much for my
liking. :P
Thanks Peter. I would like to second your comments. I have very much enjoyed
the casual friendliness of this list but foul language even in acronym form
is way outside the scope of this list. Let's keep it to programming.

I appreciate your words Nelson and your clarifications (Troy and Jeff).  I
am
not ashamed of what I believe in; however, this is a matter of being
professional.

I just want to say that I have seen in the past, what we may consider
"simple
questions" being posted here and answered with no hesitation or rude
comments
like the one stated before.  We have to strongly reject these fool words.
Yes,
we have the freedom of speech but there are channels and appropriate time to
do
it and here is not the place.  Professionalism is something that we are
lacking
in here.  This consistent behavior from different people should be under the
MIDRANGE Forum Moderator's attention.

I really want to defend the purpose of the usage of this tool we have today
that
the whole INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY shares.

Thank you all.

Peter Vidal

Peter
Please disregard this acronyms.  They have very foul
language in them.  The 'F' is the dirty word.
RT = Read The ******* Manual
ST = Search The ******* Web

I used Babylon to find out what these acronyms are. I'm
surprised that it found them.

If you have access to the web go to the IBM site, you will
find everything you need there. Here is a link for using
V4r5       http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v4r5eng.htm

TIA

>Isn't that what the acronym RTFM is for?

Either that or the new one: STFW!
