Default Member Names

If you omit a name, CA Gen assigns a default member name. For the procedure steps, CA Gen action blocks, screens, and MID and MOD members, the default name is the right-most seven digits of the Host Encyclopedia object ID of the component that is preceded by a letter:

P

Procedure steps

A

Action blocks

M

Screens and MOD names for MFS members

I

MID name for MFS members

For example, P0149508 is the default member name for a procedure step with an object ID of 0149508. CA Gen uses the MOD name as the member name of the MFS source module and defaults to the same name as the screen.

The default name for MFS members is the five rightmost digits of the Host Encyclopedia object ID for the component, which is preceded by the letter F.

The default name for an external action block is the first eight valid characters of the external action block name. If the first eight characters contain a character not valid in a PDS name, such as an underscore, CA Gen ignores the invalid character and truncates the remaining characters. For example, the default member name for the external action block READ_HISTORY is READHIST. If the first character is invalid, the default name is the last seven digits of the object ID preceded by the letter E. Change the default names to descriptive names before generating the member.
