In general, code generators don't need long names, since they can use
combinations of one or two mnemonic characters...

So, no, neither 2E nor Plex needs long names. 2E still uses 6-character
field names.

Of course, this isn't a problem, since no-one ever looks at generated code
(nor should they need to).

For %&** sure CA Plex hasn't taken advantage of the long names!

I don't think CA 2E does either...
