7.2 Process and Function Naming Conventions

All the naming standards suggest a standard prefix for packaged applications (expressed as PP). For example OE (order entry package) or GL (general ledger package).
Following is a naming standard recommended for processes and functions:

	For In-House Development	For Package Development
Processes:	Oooaaa	Ppaaaooo
Functions:	Ooonnnn	Ooonnnn

Where:
ooo indicates the basic or primary object that the process uses. For example:

CUS	Customers
ORD	Orders
SYS	General system procedures
LGR	Ledgers

|

aaa indicates the type of actions taken on the object by functions within the process. For example:

MNT	Maintenance
REP	Reports
WRK	Work with
CTL	Control routines
SBR	General subroutines
SEL	Selection subroutines
MNU	Displays a menu

|

nnnn is a sequentially assigned number within the "ooo" grouping. For example:

ORD0001	Enter new order details
ORD0002	Modify current order details
ORD0003	Modify back order details

|

Every process name within a partition must be unique. This standard is enforced by LANSA.
Every function name must be unique within a process. Function names may be identical if they belong to different processes.
No process should contain more than 20 functions (unless is a special subroutine or prompt key "grouping" process).
