Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2003 4:36 am Post subject: Member Name length in Panvalet |
|
|
Hi,
Today somebody asked me to look at some member which has a nine character lenght. I was going to mail him that this name is invalid then I found that member field in some Panvalet screen allows upto 10 characters.
Though I couldn't find this member (as I don't know the dsn) and neither have I seen any member of 9 or 10 characters yet. Still I wan't to know, is it possible to have such members?
Regards,
Diba. |

Dibakar,
Yes Panavaet supports ten character member name. The member name is from one to ten alphanumeric and special characters (@, $, #) in length.
I Guess it was designed to support the wild card ('?').
Having 10 character is useless as IBM supports only 8 characters for member name
Hope this helps...
cheers

We append a suffix to the member name when we move source code from test to production. The Panvalet archive process is a batch schedule that runs at night so we add a suffix to the original member and then copy in the test member. This way, we do not have duplicate names. |

Kolusu
Are you saying that while Panvalet does support 10 character names, you can not really check in members with 10 char names into the tool? I ask this because I am on the lookout for change management tool that will accept 10 character names. We have Mantis source programs with 10 char names and need a change management tool for this. |

mfjin,
Panavalet Does indeed Support 10 char names. However Most IBM utilities support only 8 characters. So if you can restrict your working panavalet utilities then you can go for it.

Cheers kolusu. Can you point me to some site where I can find a manual for panvalet. I would expect it to be in the ca ftp site ftp://ftp.ca.com/pub/ but i find all of ca's manuals except panvalet. google is of no help either. |
