Re: Naming Conventions on Your Programs

A lot of these standards can be misleading.

1 - Using C to indicate CL.  Ok, I rewrite the program in RPGLE.  Now I 
don't want to have to change all programs that call this to call a new 
program name.  Nor do I want to leave a one line CL out there that calls 
the new RPGLE program.  Been there - done that.

2 - Using the programmers initials in the program name.  Someone else 
makes a change - he isn't going to rename the program.

Folks, there are commands like DSPPGM or DSPOBJD out there for a reason. 
You can use these to:
- find out who last changed the program
- what source file it's stored in
- What modules it's made from
