I was wondering if others name their PF fields in order to be able to take advantage of the EVAL-CORR command in RPG.
Eg;
READ MyFile MyDS;
EVAL-CORR OutDS = MyDS;
OutDS.Additionalnformation goes here
We have kept 6 character names for our DDS field names. The rule is one letter prefix, then two syllables represented by 3 letters and 2 letters. No vowels.
Client name would be PREFIX + CLT + NM. For example BCLTNM.
This makes for easy reading and coding in programs. When I know that NM means surname and PR means christian name(prénom) I can easily deduce that I need BCLTPR without having to go looking for the name of the field.
Although, I realise the limitations of this. I can't use EVAL-CORR while I have this kind of prefix.
What kind of field naming standards are you using in DDS?
