  • Subject: IBM recomendation-Long Obj Names & sub directories
  • From: "Steven Easton" <seaston@xxxxxxxxx>

  • Importance: medium

I am recommending that IBM change the following:

1. Maximum length of object names from 10 bytes to 70 bytes
 Example CustomerMaster

2. Allow slashes in the library name
 Example JBA/AP/DATA

3. Allow generic libraries in the library list
 Example JBA/AP* JBA/GL*

This would allow AS400 Internet applications to compete with NT & Unix.

?? is 70 bytes to long, or to short??
