I can see it now,  2-3 years after the CF's are in,   a person goes into 
a source member, makes a one line change,  and the compile listing 
tells her/him  that they have to change a half dozen variable names 
because "now" they are keywords. 

"It used to work,   Now it don't ,   What the @#$%@ did they do? "

One thing about *ON, *OFF, *ZERO, *BLANK    You never confused them
with your variable names.
