Naming and Identifying Model Objects

Within a model, a model object is identified by either of the following:

Object Surrogate Number—A 7-digit number assigned automatically by when the object is created. For example:

OBJSGT(1100897)

Note that it is generally more efficient to use the surrogate number when possible. You can obtain it using the Retrieve Model Object (YRTVMDLOBJ) command.

Model Object Name—Consists of the owner, name, and type you assign when creating a model object.
The following table shows the components of the model object name for each of the supported model object types.

Model Object Model Object	Object Owner Name	Object Name	Object Type
Access Path	name'	path name'	*ACP
Application Area	*NONE	area code'	*APP
Array	*ARRAYS	name'	*ARR
Condition	'field name'	'condition name'	*CND
File	*NONE	name'	*FIL
Field	*NONE	name'	*FLD
Function	name'	name'	*FUN
Message	*MESSAGES	name'	*MSG

For example, the following shows the model object name for the Display Product Details function that is owned by the Product file:

OBJNAM(Product 'Display Product Details' *FUN)
