IMOD Naming Conventions

IMOD names can be up to 16 characters in length. The following restrictions apply:

• An IMOD name must not start with a dollar sign ($). CA reserves names beginning with a dollar sign for their use.
• An IMOD name should use only characters supported for standard REXX labels. For example, if you name an IMOD ABC.XYZ, REXX will not support the statement, CALL ABC.XYZ; the IMOD name is treated as a stem variable instead.
• The underscore character (_) has special meaning in an IMOD name. It is used for name prefixing.
