Which is why I added the JCL comment, as few of us would call it a language. But are we right? I don't know, words mean what people say they mean. I tend to object to people who use the term "database" as a base for information - including libraries. That's because my business has a jargon with a more precise meaning that is more useful to me. "Language" is also a jargon word, which we use in a different way than we find in most dictionaries. Where can we find a dictionary that shows the meaning that would include the languages we want to include, but exclude those that others want to include? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
