Well, you can use a variable to contain the program's real name and that varaible name can be much longer of course.

This used to have a performance penalty, but the compiler was changed many, many years ago to all-but-remove that penalty.

Ok this could have gone under rpg or cobol... but want to start here
please...

so in rpg when we want to refer to a long program name of an ILE RPG pgm,
we create a prototype...

dcl-pr "myLongName" extpgm('OBJNAME');

But if I have a cobol program that wants to refer to an RPG ILE PGM with a
long name, how can that be achieved?
