RE: Renaming RPG

I think that's an excellent idea.

Considering the history of RPG I think a good name would be Phoenix.

On the AS/400 it could be abbreviated PHX, as in CRTPHXPGM.

        I was just thinking that maybe RPG (Report Program Generator) should
be
        renamed. . .

        Not that we need one more name change within IBM, but in reality
most of the
        name changes that have happened were because the initial name didn't
        adequately describe what the product was or the product was named
        prematurely.  Maybe the acronymn just needs to be changed to include
more
        buzz word's -- Reliable, Progressive, Guaranteed.

        I don't know when RPG first came about, but I am guessing that
todays RPG is
        a far cry from where it started.  Maybe when they allow us to create
our own
        data types they can name it Rava (instead of Java;-).

        Just thinking out loud,
        Aaron Bartell
