I believe that was counting lines of code per person/day over the entire
development lifecycle, so some days you actually write no code because
you were writing documentation, or sitting in meetings eating donuts or
whatever. COBOL can actually be measured fairly well in terms of lines
of code per function point, and old-style lead programmers would submit
an estimate of lines of code needed at the beginning of a project,
according to one of my grad school professors who used to run a
mainframe shop at a hospital.
Kinda meaningless in a 4GL/RAD/CASE world, tho'.

Didn't IBM have a "standard", something like a good programmer will
produce
ten lines of code per day?
That was in the days before OOP, though.
