When gnerating from the OOM to the PDM, make sure that the "Convert
names into codes' option is selected on the Detail tab of the PDM
Generation window. Also, if you are generating into a new PDM, select
'Configure Model options' on the General tab and then select the
'Enable name/code conversion' option.

Please note that

Enable name/code conversion option is Selected in the PDM
Convert Name into Code option is checked in PDM Generation options (in the
OOM).

My problem is that I get different behavior when I synchronize
OOM and PDM and when I manually convert a name into a code in a PDM using a
convertion table.

Name to code conversion is called in both cases but the conversion table is
not used when coming from the OOM.

You should open a case with Sybase Technical Support.
