You know what I hate?

[Bakker, Paul]

Alon,
 
Well actually I do see a reason for it. If you are drilling into a WF
task and you see an underlying Zmethod, then you know immediately that
you are not dealing with SAP standard (and therefore the likelihood of a
bug increases by 78%).
 
But it's also true that you can discover the same information by
drilling down that extra step into the BOR.
 
cheers
Paul

I know that this is mostly an academic argument but I would love to hear
peoples thoughts on this...
 
You know what I hate? I hate it when I look at a Z Business Object
(delegated sub-type) and someone has created a method called zUpdate or
an attribute called zAmount. Is there really a need for the 'z' in the
name of the attribute/method? Perhaps there is something I am missing
here so please feel free to point out the error of my ways. 
 
Do people do this because they don't realise that they can redefine an
SAP delivered attribute/method? Or are they concerned that SAP will
deliver an attribute with the exact same name? I assume that the
redefined method/attribute would not be effected but perhaps someone has
had this happen...
 
I understand why people do it with append fields on a table but why do
this for a BOR sub-type?
 
Regards,
 
Alon
