>Out director has said that we must find another way to name our variables as he finds it difficult to read. Currently we use lcMyVariable to denote a local, character variable. He would like to use MyVariable_lc instead. We were also considering lc_MyVariable and one person thought that MyVariableLC was reasonable. Any thoughts? And if this has been covered already then just point the way please. I still would like to know what others think just about this specific example though. Thanks!

I think what you are doing is fine. We have coding standards here about the first three chars for a var.
The first one is the scope
The second one is the type
The third always being a underscore.
Then the description of the variable.

So we would code the var being lc_MyVariable or lc_myvariable. I personally like the first one and thats how I code. Other developers here make the varaible all lowercase.
