> Here's another vote for the retention of POW in the v8 code-stream.
> 
> We've been using Powerhouse on VMS since 1987 (was it v4 back then?). 
> Now that most of our various systems are 'mature' the use of PDL has
> almost disappeared at our site.  We're maintaining dictionaries with
> 350+ files/tables and many thousands of elements & items and have not
> had a problem over the years.  We're also keeping synchronized various
> remote sites with their own dictionaries etc. etc.  The only time we
> resort to using PDL is to 'move' a file/table from one dictionary to
> another.
> 
> It seems a very backward step to forgo the usefullness of 'POW' and
> return to the days of script-based dictionary maintenance using PDL.
> 
> Let's hope Cognos listens to some of the voices out there, calling for
> the reintroduction of POW into v8.
