Lookup Naming Guidelines
Here are guidelines for naming Lookups (on the Lookup Field maintenance):
- Be specific. The name MUST be unique across all lookups.
- Do not include a final standard suffix Flag or Lookup (The suffix Lookup is automatically added by the generator to the classes generated for each Lookup field.)
Examples:
-
WO_STATUS_FLG
->writeOffStatus
-
STM_RTG_METH_FLG
->statementRoutingMethod
Here are guidelines for naming Lookups Value properties (on Lookup Value maintenance):
- Try to word the name in a way that makes sense when prepended by is, and is
also valid when standing alone as a constant. For example,
{isComplete, COMPLETE}
,{isFrozen, FROZEN}
. - The name might match the English description of the lookup value.
Examples:
-
HOW_TO_USE_FLG : -
->subtractive
-
ITEM_STATUS_FLG : A
->active
-
DGRP_PRIO_FLG : 10
->highest10
-
DGRP_PRIO_FLG : 20
->priority20
