Definition

Unique name of a function module in the Function Builder.

Supplementary Documentation - RS38L_FNAM0001

Use

In principle, a function module can have any name you like. However, it must be unique within the Function Builder and can consist only of alphanumeric characters and the underscore character "_".

Procedure

To edit a function module, you must

  • choose a name
  • select entry and edit options

When you create a new function module, try to choose an English name that comprises an object and an action.

Examples

Example: STRING_SPLIT

Generic entry and search

You can enter generic names in the form <partial name>* where the asterisk represents any number of characters and may only appear at the end of the name.
If you enter only an asterisk (*), the program branches to the search function.
You can access the search function by choosing Utilities -> Find and then entering your search criteria on the selection screen.
