Well, I found there were different spellings used in one form. This prompted my question. Obviously all code needs to be consistent with the usage. I asked my manager and she suggested to use 1 l. However, I am looking into another procedure now and I see that we update database with 'CANCELLED'. I am not sure if it should affect the usage for message boxes and wait windows and log files, though.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
