Each name must be a valid PDSE member name and must be unique within the business system. (The name can have a maximum of eight alphanumeric characters. The first character must be a letter.) CA Gen detects invalid or duplicate names and prompts you to supply a new name.
If you do not specify a name, CA Gen assigns a default member name. The default name for an External Action Block stub is the first eight valid characters of the External Action Block name. 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 Host Encyclopedia object ID preceded by the letter E.
Compile and link the External Action Block using the same name that you specified as the member name.
In the example from the figure in the External Action Block as Interface to Subroutine section in this chapter, if you do not specify a member name for the External Action Block READ_HISTORY, CA Gen assumes that the member name for the modified stub is READHIST (the default). If you modify the stub using the name READHIST as shown in earlier examples, CA Gen resolves the reference to the External Action Block during the final link edit of the load module. Use of another name would prevent CA Gen from successfully installing the External Action Block.
