Using reserved words as MOSC attribute might pass C++, but can fail at 
the database. For example, "comment" is ORACLE reserved. Using a 
attribute named comment, and MOSC will work create & you'll get an 
executable. When you initialize the TOM ('-ii' option on the TOM) 
initialization will proceed with no errors.
However, no table is created! Look at the data tables using sqlplus 
and 
you'll see the tables defined for some objects, but not for the 
classes 
which have 'comment' attributed (directly or inherited.)
