Batch Applications

Object naming conventions ensure consistency and make batch applications easier to identify and locate. For batch applications, the name can be a maximum of eight characters and should be formatted as Rxxyyyyy, such as R09800, R30440, and so on, where:

R = Batch (report) application

xx = System code

yyyyy = For these digits, follow the same naming convention as you use on IBM i.

The Function Use field follows the same naming standards as IBM i, such as:

130-139 = Batch Processes

160-169 = Reports

Report Category Codes follow the same standards as the Form Design standards.
