The @NAME statement provides Adabas Pre-Compiler with the name of the program to be stored in the Predict Active reference entries.

The syntax of the statement is as follows:

You should specify the load-module name. This statement can be positioned anywhere in the program, but it must be placed before the first @ADADCL command.

Omitting the @NAME statement causes Adabas Pre-Compiler to take the name of the program from the PROGRAM-ID statement in COBOL, from the PROC OPTIONS (MAIN) statement in PL/1, or from the first line of the FORTRAN program which must be PROGRAM program-name.
