RE: Naming Conventions (was RE: Subroutines vs Subprocedures (was RE: Indicators))

I was thinking about:

  in/out/io = parameters in a procedure interface.  Thought it might be nice
to 
               have the indication of how they are used. But I supposed that
if 
               VALUE and CONST keywords are used when appropriate, the
prefix
               might not be needed.  

  dsp/prt  =  display and printer files respectively.


  I'm used to using suffixes if I need to identify the data type of a
variable.  For example for use on a Data structure or pointer.  Not sure if
that will be part of our new standards or not.

  wkRtnDtaDS or myRtnDta_ds
  myRtnDta_ptr

Speaking of qualified DS'es, I was tossing around the idea of a prefix for
template DS'es.  In other words, a DS that is not intended to actually be
used except in the LIKEDS keyword.


One thing I'd like to do is work in conjunction with the PC people so that
our RPG IV standards bear some resemblance to their standards.  That will
benefit the one guy who does both now and I suspect more in the future.

But, they seem to like the strMyName, intMyAge type of convention.  I can't
stand it ;-)
