Abend?!?
Reading up on the fixed problems in 7.7.05 I frequently run into the verb "abend". Google translate thinks it might be German (translating to "evening"), which suggests it's not a valid English word?

What is "abend" supposed to mean?

Is this word of the same staple as "Lakh" or "Crore"?

Ahh, the good old Mainframe days, where everything was much simpler and less styled.

The mainframe....with terminals without a hard disk...now we are reinventing this and call it cloudcomputing.
