Further information
1. This function simplifies the composition of names for BCL objects. It is intended to be used as a parameter of other functions (wherever name strings are required). Unlike the standard C string functions, this function does not require any memory allocation by the user, and the string returned must not be freed by the user.
2. Names created with this function are limited to 128 characters. However, there is no restriction on the length of names for BCL objects in general.
