RE: Library and Source File Question

Names that reflect the source types?
like
ORD500R for rpg
ORD500C for CL
ORD500D for display file
ORD500O for printer output?
And if you do a WRKLNK '/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/ORD500*.*' you'll see:
/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/ORD500C.PGM
/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/ORD500D.FILE
/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/ORD500O.FILE
/QSYS.LIB/MYLIB.LIB/ORD500R.PGM
And if you do a WRKOBJ MYLIB/ORD500* you'll see:
Object      Type      Library     Attribute
ORD500C     *PGM      MYLIB       CLP
ORD500R     *PGM      MYLIB       RPG
ORD500D     *FILE     MYLIB       DSPF
ORD500O     *FILE     MYLIB       PRTF

Question, when you create stuff on your PC do you end up with names like:
MYPGMEXE.EXE
TESTDOC.DOC
QUESTIONSDOC.DOC
OTHERDOC.DOC
FINANCIALSXLS.XLS
RESUMEWP1.WP1

Have separate source members. It did not used to be necessary, but
nowadays, because of record lengths, it is. RPGLE needs a record length of
112,  older RPG needs 92. QMQRY's need 91, QMFORMs need 162 or some such.

I would still use distinct names, even in separate source files, since the
resulting objects, whether modules or programs or service programs, still
need distinct names. This gives you the chance to make names that reflect
the original source types - might be useful.
