SHOW NAMES LONGER THAN ...

Syntax:

SHOW NAMES LONGER THAN <integer> CHARACTERS

Function:

fpt displays the names and attributes of all symbols which have names longer than the specified value.

Some systems, e.g. Encore (Gould-SEL) MPX Fortran, ignore the trailing characters of names beyond a certain length. Thus, for example, under MPX, HEADING_WRT_WIND and HEADING_WRT_DECK are actually the same variable, with the internal name HEADING_. The long names may be systematically renamed with the RENAME command.
