And if you're using an include to bring in the named common, what's
the big deal

Perhaps the big difference is that while an older environment
could have hundreds of spreadsheets or basic programs, a MV
system probably won'd have but a few names
Bill;
Can't argue much about the 7 character limit on the common names. I'm not sure
why it will compile in basictype 'u' and not 'p'. It just seems awfully
dangerous to let it compile at all.
We moved a lot of systems from Pick to UniData quite easily. ACCT_RESTORE
would even read Pick tapes
much for your comments though.

Dave:
The reason I suspected a joke was because most of us have never lived with
restricted variable name
I probably should have been more clear -- that's why we rearranged and put
our 'most unique' details at the front of the Named Common block -- but
ulimately, we truncated all at 7 characters.

At this moment and time, that would be true... But how many unique
combinations of 7 characters can be created? 26 to the 7th power? (if we
exclude numerics, anyway!) So far, 8 billion+ choices has been enough
leeway for us to work within - But it is a hard limit -- we just truncated
our Common
