IBM recomendation-Long Obj Names & sub directories -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

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??
