I know this is not directly the subject, but I have always wondered
why people has different sourcefiles for different source types.

Me too.

This is obvious. CVTRPGSRC, CRTPF, CRTRPGMOD, CRTCLMOD, etc., all want us to use QXXXSRC. When I started out, my personal library contained one source file called TOOLS in which I put everything. But default command settings soon corrected me. In our company NOBODY touches the default settings!
Why does IBM apparently WANT us to use these file names?

The only separation I do is for include files which are in
separate files (one per language thus H for C, RPGLEINC, for
RPGLE, CBLINC for
COBOL) and this is primarily because they are cross-group
items.

I didn't quite get that. You don't separate the main source files by language type, but you do separate shared source by language type?
