189	error name size and message logging.	robert.desonia@…	Paul Price	"The SDRS states that the error name ""is of the form aaa.bbb.ccc and identifies 
the component raising the error."" (ref:sec 2.5)  Also, the message logging 
section (2.4.2) limits the output of the name in the log to be only 15 
characters.  
 
If I interpret the aaa.bbb.ccc form to be a specific identifier in the form 
lib.subdir.function (e.g., psLib.sysUtils.psLogSetDestination), this makes for 
a name in which is much more than 15 characters long.  In fact, the lib.subdir 
is all that fits in the log message at all.  I adjusted the log output to 
print the last part of the name instead of the first, but I don't know if that 
is really desirable either. 
 
We could: 
 
1.  do nothing;  
 
2.  increase the name size in the message log; 
 
3.  reformat the message log to be multiple lines (more like the cvs log 
format); and/or 
 
4.  specify a shorter naming convention. 
 
 
What are your thoughts?
