Example: ZNEWLAYOUT –New layout is the layout set name.

If you copy a standard layout set, insert a ‘Z’ as the first character .If the standard layout set already has 30 characters replace the first character with ‘Z’.

Styles:

Style may have names up to 30 characters in length, using the format

Standard Text ID’s:

Standard text ID’s may have name up to 4 character’s in length using the format
