Very subjective topic!!!!
In one shop we used whatever name we wanted as long as it wasn't crude.
In another shop we used a convention like this.
XXXYYYBBB
XXX = System Type - Like Purchasing, Inventory, Order entry, etx.
YYY = some number. The number range meant something as well.
BBB = Type of program, sometimes it was R or C (RPG or CL) then we switched to
functionality in order to use modules.
Plus, we went to once QSOURCE to hold all the source.
The we could subset to get where we wanted.
So for example,
SYS100F = Physical File
SYS100L00 = Logical File of SYS100F
SYS100D = display file
SYS100P = Report File
Then for a simple maintenance routine where each screen was in a separate
module:
SYS100 - Work with Subfile
SYS100UPD - Add or Update
SYS100DLT - Delete subfile
SYS100RPT - Report generation
SYS100DSP - Display only
Then the SYS100* were bound together into SYS100.
A CL could by SYS100C but not always. We made the actual modules independent
of language nomenclature.
Just my 2 cents,
Sharon

Subject: Source Naming conventions
Hello. I'm curious as to how people name their rpg source members. I'm
coming into a new shop where everything is pretty much open to however I
want it to be. We currently use 2 packages for most of our production
processing and most of my code and the existing code are interfaces into
one or both of these systems. I can break the systems down into 2 digit
codes AA and BB we'll say for now. Should I make all my programs fall
under one of these categories? AA0001, AA0002, BB0001, etc... I have
some code that interfaces with AA, but could be subcategorized as EDI.
I could name these EDI0001 or AAEDI0001. Also some Physical Inventory
programs. PI0001? AAPI0001.
I guess I'm asking for thoughts and opinions on this. What do you use
for your naming conventions? What works and what doesn't work?
Thanks! Mark
