I understand, and because of that, I would prefer to change the procedure name. One question to ask the community as how often are these particular procedures invoked by users?
If you look at the Ref Guide PDF, every occasion where these long names are used, they bleed outside the margins or in some cases off the entire page. That is especially true for section titles and the Table of Contents. Lesson learned for the future... when we implement another built in procedure, we need to discuss the name to ensure that it makes sense and is not too long :-) On 3/6/07, Mike Matrigali <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If you have to, to get it work then go ahead. But do note that I have gotten multiple questions about "missing" system procedures when the answer was that the user left off the SYSCS_UTIL. -- this is why I prefer all documentation to have the complete reference. I know it is likely that a paragraph will explain the need for the complete name - but users will pick and choose paragraphs/examples and if one usage is wrong - someone will use it.
