[netrexx-pipelines] abbreviated stage names

[René J. <rvj...@xs...>]

Hi Jeff,

I liked your idea for abbreviating the stage names to the sizes that CMS allows, as I saw in the abbrev.nrx stage, by inheriting the shortest name by the longer class names. I did this as a test for ‘console’ now. For some reason a public  class needs its own program file name in NetRexx. I am not sure what the reason is for that, and we might considering changing that. We might try to use the compiler for allowable abbreviations, but the idea of a class per stage seems cleaner. I did fix some strictcase and strictargs issues in abbrev.nrx, but did not touch the inheritance problem yet.

I wondered if there is a list somewhere - I looked into the ‘user guide and reference, and it seems that these minimal abbreviations are indicated by capitalization.  I did not find a compact list anywhere, nor an ‘official’ explanation on how this works. If someone knows where to find it, please tell me (otherwise I’ll ask on the CMS Pipelines list).

best regards,

René.
