Can I rant a little? Why was it decided to abbreviate the
integer, graphic, unsigned, and indicator data types?

Where there was a built-in function, %INT, %UNS, etc, we used the same
name for the related keyword.


Thanks. But there is no %IND() built-in function so why was the
indicator data type keyword abbreviated while the timestamp data type
keyword is the same length and not abbreviated? And for the other three,
why was there no allowance to also support the unabbreviated form?
