Title: Duplicate Data Area Names
Description: What are the Implications?

SCENARIO:
We have 2 environments: Test and Production.
>Production is live -- it contains the data areas LAWAPP81 and Logan.
>Test is not live -- it contains the data areas BUILD, CRP, LAWAPP81, LAWTRAIN, and Logan.

QUESTION:
What are the implications of using the LAWAPP81 name for more than one data area?

Implications:

Not many.

Good: Makes scripting work REALLY WELL because you don't have to remember to change the name of the Product Line in the script. Also makes background tokens work well -- setting up user tokens sometimes involves hard-coded Product Line names.

Bad: Gotta keep track of where you are! Sometimes you can get a little tongue-tangled saying something like, "... then we copy from Prod Prod to Test Prod, er, Prod Test, uh, no, that's Test Test, or is it Dev Test..." :bonk:

Good luck!
