CA 2E Naming Convention Exceptions

The following OS/400 objects are exceptions to the CA 2E systematic naming convention:

• Objects that may be referred to directly and frequently by the non-technical user:

  - User profiles: User profile names should reflect the user’s role. If there are many users, a common prefix to indicate department and/or location may be useful. Reserve the prefix ‘Q’ for IBM profiles.

  - Libraries: Library names should indicate the nature of the objects in the library. Reserve the prefix ‘Q’ IBM libraries (QSYS, QRPG, QRPLOBJ).
