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

[CWilt@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Actually, I wasn't talking about using the PREFIX keyword on the DS
subfields.

Instead, something like:

d t_RtnDta       ds             qualified based(dummyPtr)
d  field1               19a
d  field2               10a


d myRtnDta1                     likeds(t_RtnDta)
d myRtnDta2                             likeds(t_RtnDta)


What I was talking about is the "t_" prefix on, just something to get across
the idea that the t_RtnDta is a "template" intended to be used in a LIKEDS
and not actually used for storage.


Comments?
