Re: Does the recommendation against variable names starting with SQL apply to constants?

readability of the code is a big one for me.

Well here's a question for you.

What would you do ? :

Working on a RPGIII that has just been converted to IV.
Need to test a field to see if its value is 'X0'.
Search the source for 'X0' to see if I need to create a constant.
In the D specs I find :D cX0             C                   CONST('X0')
'c' being the RPGIII standard prefix for constants.
I realize that the length available for constant names did not make for readability, but...
Reading further, I find that most of the constants are coded in the same way.


Pride ( or plain stubborn ) will not let me use the constant cX0, so I'm adding my own long constant name with the same value.
