This file, introduced with Name Standardization (Patch XU*8.0*134), holds the component parts of a person's name as follows:
Family (Last) Name (field #1)
Given (First) Name (field #2)
Middle Name (field #3)
Prefix (field #4)
Suffix (field #5)
Degree (field #6)
The "source name" that has these components is identified by the following three fields:
File (field #.01)
Field (field #.02)
IENS (field #.03)
The "ANAME" cross-reference on the Family (Last) Name, Given (First) Name, Middle Name, and Suffix fields keeps each component in
synchronization with the corresponding source name. In the case of Patch XU*8.0*134, the source name is the .01 field (the Name
field) of the NEW PERSON file (#200).
The Degree and Prefix fields are not considered part of a standard name, but can be used to build formatted names for display.
