Use positions 7-21 to specify the name of the subprocedure being defined. If the name is longer than 15 characters, a name is specified in positions 7 - 80 of the continued name lines. The normal rules for RPG IV apply; reserved words cannot be used (see Symbolic Names). The name can begin in any position in the space provided.
The name specified must be the same as the name of the prototype describing the procedure, if a prototype is specified. If a prototype is not specified, the prototype will be implicitly defined using the name specified on the Procedure Specification and the information specified by the procedure interface.
If position 24 contains an E, then the name is optional.
