EGL Reference Guide for iSeries


Name aliasing

If you use a name that is not valid in the target generation language, the generator creates and uses an alias for the name in the generated code.

A name may be aliased for the following reasons:

An alias may be generated by substituting a valid set of characters for an invalid character, by truncating names that are too long, by adding a prefix or suffix to a name, or by producing a completely different name such as EZE00123.
