I can't speak for the Canadian side, but I grew up in El Paso. El Paso is right on the Mexican border with another large Mexican city on the other side, Juarez, and a fair amount of travel in both directions. On the US side, everything

My first job as a developer was writing COBOL (in 2007), and I only did it for a few months, so grain of salt here. I'm fairly certain PIC A(100) should be PIC X(100). A is "alphabetic." X is "alphanumeric" but supp
