4.2 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:
|
aaa indicates the type of actions taken on the object by functions within the process. For example:
|
nnnn is a sequentially assigned number within the "ooo" grouping. For example:
|
- 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).
