Re: Naming Conventions on Your Programs

["James H H Lampert" <jamesl@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Depends on the product.

For QuestView, programs start with VIEW, followed by some 
indication of what they do, and an "R" if it's an RPG 
front-end for some operation that requires multiple 
programs.

For ThinView, any programs that are directly borrowed from 
QuestView have whatever name they have in QuestView, while 
those unique to ThinView start with THIN, followed by some 
indication of their function.

For Wintouch, programs and modules used in normal 
client-server sessions start with WT or WTCP, while 
command-line utilities might either start with WT, or have 
WT or WINT embedded within the name. RPG programs and 
modules usually end in "R"; the lone MI program ends in 
"M"; CL programs end in "C"; C programs don't end in 
anything in particular.

In general, authorization code/system info/application 
info utilities have names in the form WRKxxxxINF, where 
xxxx is the product, either VIEW, THIN, or WINT; their 
display files (since they're OPM RPG) typically have names 
in the form WRKxxINF (WRKVWINF, WRKTVINF, or WRKWTINF); 
server programs typically have names in the form 
xxxxSERVER, xxxxVERIFY, and xxxxCHILD.
