EGL Reference Guide for iSeries

How names are aliased

When you are naming EGL parts, the EGL language let you use names that are not permitted in the programming language being generated. During generation, such names are replaced with names that are permitted in the language being generated.

For example, COBOL does not permit names that contain underscore characters, names that contain lowercase letters, or names longer than 30 characters. If you use such a name in EGL code, the name is replaced with a valid name in the output.
