But this does make me wonder one more time, as I have in the past: "Just what IS required for something to be a 'programming language'"? Does it have to have loops? Variables? A compiler (I'd say "no, or various scripting languages might not qualify", and I don't think anyone would buy that)? Does HTML qualify? It has the L-word but that doesn't prove anything. Etc. I know people who think JCL does count. Can we prove them right or wrong by some objective definition? Thoughts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
