Section naming conventions

[Chris.Chambers@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I am intrigued to learn the various naming conventions experienced by those of
you who not averse to using SECTIONS.

I have only ever worked with A00-INITIALISATION, B00-PROCESS, Z00-CLOSE and
subordinate sections would be AA00, BA00, BB00, ZA00 etc.

In any manuals or guidebooks the sections merely have names that seem to have no
formula eg READ-FILE SECTION or
UPDATE-RECORD SECTION which shows no dependencies. (Do people actually write
like that?).

I am thinking of adopting new conventions when developng new systems and would
like to hear views on the pro's and con's of peoples naming conventions.

Thanks,

Chris.
