You are correct, sir!  I again stumbled across this little jewel while
converting some old S/36 code to the native AS/400 variety.  Needless to say,
the /400 didn't care for it while the /36 ignored it.  I also ran across a
reference in the OCL of this account to R1, any takers on that one :-)?

P.S.  The aforementioned account had abandoned their S/36 in favor of a PC
Network solution years ago, guess where they came home to...
