VMS features in PH

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day all

Just to put my 2 cents/2 pence/2 whatever's worth in:

1.	PHD (POW) interactive dictionary management tool - definitely want
it.
2.	Mailbox support - I have used this to communicate between PH and 3GL
programs.  I haven't used it often but it provides a really great solution
for event triggering.  Heterogeneous systems that rely on mailboxes could be
in trouble without them.
3.	Command status - always found it unreliable myself so I prefer to
use DCL level status checking.
4.	Is All-in-one still around?
5.	Systemvalue - not being able to utilise the difference will make DCL
script writing harder.
6.	I have only used REVERSE once in 10 years.
7.	SET JOB, etc. - rarely use it.  Prefer using dynamic DCL scripts.
8.	Timestamp - use frequently on audit files.
9.	BACKWARDS - haven't used it yet.  How come other VMS layered
products have had this functionality at least as far back as VMS 5.n yet
Cognos couldn't do it until VMS 6.2?
