Script Naming Convention


RAMP scripts are assigned names like INVOKE_SCRIPT_2, BUTTON_SCRIPT_7, etc.

The name reflects their purpose and the numerical suffix makes them unique within the current Framework, but they have no real programmatic purpose.

Where multiple developers are working on independent Frameworks with an intention to merge their work together at some later date, the possibility of duplicated script names exists. While this situation does not present a technical problem for RAMP, it can be confusing for developers trying to identify unique scripts.   

Developers can change the names of the scripts in the Script Details area. The recommend way to do this is to append a short suffix to the generated script name, possibly relating to the 5250 screen or application that the script is associated with.

Also see xxxxxxx is an orphan script and should be deleted.
