Component Names and Identifiers
LANSA components have a name, which may be longer than 8 characters, and an identifier.
When working with the Framework, use the identifier when specifying the components or functions to be used as filters, command handlers, imbedded interface points, etc.
However, you can prompt and search for plug-in components using their long name. When you select a component, its identifier is returned and saved in the XML schema.
