Introduction to Access Paths › Recognizing the Basic Properties of Access Paths › Naming Access Paths

Naming Access Paths

A name for an access path can be free format and up to 25 characters. Within a given file, the access path names must be unique. Since each access path is implemented as a separate i OS object, each access path also will be given a unique source member name (in the model) before source code can be generated for it. The member name becomes the name of the object used to implement the access path.

CA 2E supplies a default name if the Allocate Name (YALCVNM) model value is set to *YES or *MNC.

For more information about:

• Changing a default name refer to the "Setting Default Options for Your Access Paths" chapter.
• Naming implementation objects see the topic Setting Up the User Environment in the "Using Your Development Environment" chapter of the Administration Guide.
• The YCHGMDLVAL command, see the CA 2E Command Reference Guide.
