Probably iPL would be interpreted as Initial Program Load creating more
confusion. Just an opinion :}

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
