Talk:AS/400 Control Language

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think this page, along with AS/400 object should either be re-titled with OS/400 instead of AS/400 or merged with the OS/400 article, which really needs to be fleshed out anyway. Though that may have not been necessary in the past, with LPAR coming to the AS/400 (iSeries), one AS/400 unit may be running multiple OSes, so I think it would be much more appropriate to clarify that the command language and object concepts used on OS/400 actually be credited to OS/400 the operating system, not AS/400 the platform.

[edit] IT IS CONTROL LANGUAGE NOT COMMAND LANGUAGE

Regarding the following IBM link, it shows that CL stands for Control Language not Command Language. http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/iseries/v5r2/ic2924/books/sm14/c4157215.pdf

I edited the context but wasn't able to change the title to AS/400 Control Language. 10:29 pm July 20, 2005 (Shahram T. Nayeri)

I've moved the article to AS/400 Control Language now. Timsheridan 17:56, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Misuse of the term acronym

DSP, CHG, etc. are not acronyms. They are abbreviations. Acronyms are initialisms i.e. they are formed by the first letter of each word of a phrase. For example SCUBA: Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. Using 'CHG' for 'change' is merely an abbreviation, regardless of whether the letters in 'chg' are capitalized or not.
