Naming Conventions for Reports

Customer report names follow the convention Yaxxxxxx or Zaxxxxxx, where:

  • The first character must be a Y or Z.
  • The second character represents the application area.
  • The maximum program length is 10.

The second character is the short form for the application area. For example, a customer report for Treasury would follow the convention Z5xxxxxx, while a logistics report would be named Z21xxxxx.

Each application area can be represented by a code. Each code has two commonly used forms, the short form and the long form. There is also a code used only for logical database names. These codes are shown in the following table
