Wobbly case - lol
Yes i remember years ago we had a chain printer that only printed caps - we moved to a new machine and the print runs came out all funny lots of characters missing, it took us ages to figure out it was only printing the caps chars, the old machine uppercased everything in the spooler so we had to copy the spooler code over as well... -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Les Hewkin Sent: 25 June 2009 09:07 To: U2 Users List Subject: Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards. Does anyone else remember the days when there was only UPPER case on terminals and line printers? Our internal standard says use upper case only, we have twenty year old programs. When switching from an old program to a new one written in wobbly case you tend to miss read the code. We do have someone who is very techy that loves wobbly case, but he is just a bit strange, you know who you are.. Les Sherlock Hewkin Project Manager Group Financial Systems I.T.

Same Also leading capital letter for SubroutineLabels: No underscores, dots or other extraneous characters. File handle variables are just another variable so follow the camelCase rule but I prefix them with fv: open 'MY.FILE.NAME' to fvMyFileName Cheers, Stuart Boydell ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of Larry Hiscock Sent: Thu 25/06/2009 05:05 To: 'U2 Users List' Subject: Re: [U2] Mixed Case UV Basic Programming Standards. I tend to use all lower case for verbs (e.g. read, for, loop, etc), all upper case for constants (i.e. equates -- equ TAB lit char(9)), and camel case for variables (e.g. orderMaster, customerName, etc) One advantage is that I can tell at a glance the difference between a variable and a constant.
