Issue/Introduction

I noticed that significant changes were made to PGMNAMED (PGMNAMES) in release 4.0 servicepack 3 (genlevel 0303). Can we continue to use our current PGMNAMES, or do I need to recustomize the new version in order for it to work?

Resolution

PGMNAMES is one of the customizable macros supplied with the Telon Generator. It is used to customize the format for building the names of the programs, aliases, maps, etc. that you build with Telon

In the past, if your shop used something other than the default of a 2-character header and 4-character ID, it was necessary to make changes to the calculations for the length of these components. With the changes in release 4.0 servicepack 3 (as well as release 4.1 base), we have streamlined the calculations so that they are done for you automatically. If you already have a customized copy of the release 4.0 or 4.1 PGMNAMES, you may continue to use it; you do not need to recustomize a copy of the new version.
