Well, thank you.
I despise naming short names with a file prefix. For examples
IIMITEMNO
IIMDESC
IIMQTY
And another file with
ECLITMDESC
This makes it impossible to query the system catalog to find the tables containing item_description.
Hasn't anyone cracked open a RPG manual to find that if you just have to prefix you can use the PREFIX keyword on the file spec? Why tie up precious real estate of short 10 character names with a prefix?
I used vendor software which didn't even prefix their fields in their tables. This was even pre ILE and they had to exhaustively rename in their programs.
