I will use seldaterange, selacct, selprodcode or generic names
like that when I reuse the table for many different reports. But
I like the names short in most cases so I do not have to type too
much. And I like to know immediately if a report requires a
special selection or auto table. Especially important if you have
to edit the table and compile it to a .tok. You have to use the
right auto table when you compile or the table will misbehave when
you run it. That is why it is wonderful if filepro has given us a
way to attach an auto table to an input/output process so it will
compile correctly. This has caused me no end of grief over the
years.<br>

Your suggestion makes sense. I worked for an IBM var who use numerical for program names this worked as the first number indicate the type of program it was.

Just to offer another idea about naming process tables that work together, here is my plan.
report.prc - is the main process for a report
reporty.prc - the the auto table name if it needs a special one
reportv.prc - is the selection table name if it needs one.
When I list the directory they are all together, because they are alphabetically listing.
Has worked well for me for decades.
Just an FYI
