RE: Naming Conventions on Your Programs

["Fisher, Don" <dfisher@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I remember working with this standard on a project involving a package
called Software 2000 and it drove me nuts.  Our standards, and most others
I've seen, place the type identifier at the end of the object name so one
can type WRKOBJ AAA999* and see all the objects related specifically to the
program.

Just my opinion, of course, but I prefer the type at the end.

AR (accounts receivable) + type + 3 or 4 digit sequential number. If RPG,
that's the name. 
If CL, append CL (or JQ - for "job queue", I suppose - for a batch CL
program).  

Type - C = calculation program; P = prompt program; I = inquiry program; R =
report program; U = update program.
