RPG/400 Help

Positions 75-80 (Program Identification)

The symbolic name entered in these positions is the name of the program that can be run. You can override this name with the PGM parameter in the CL command CRTRPGPGM (Create RPG Program).

If you do not specify a name in positions 75 through 80 of the control specification or on the CRTRPGPGM command, but the source is from a database file, the member name is used as the program name. If the source is not from a database file, the program name defaults to RPGOBJ.

If you specify the program name on the control specification, its maximum length is 6 characters. If you specify the program name in the CRTRPGPGM command, its maximum length is 10 characters.

Note:
Names entered here must follow the RPG/400 symbolic name rules. Extended names are not allowed. However, the name specified on the CRTRPGPGM command can follow the extended naming rules.
