Many years ago, one of our singers, an Afrikaans singer/actor, toured Netherlands and she innocently said a word during a conversation in a mixture of Afrikaans+Dutch. The people around her were really not that amused. That was a big OOOOOPS! I wish, I could remember what she said. Kees, when I'm big and rich, I want to tour your beautiful country... Now speaking of tourism, why is the one LOGREC DD statement named TOURIST? These LOGREC things like ACCIN, ACCDEV, DIRECTWK, EREPPT, I can understand why, but TOURIST? I am accustomed with strange names like IGDZILLA in LPALIB, but can't get over TOURIST... ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
