In our case, we do use some custom names and some standard names.
QDDSSRC
QCMDSRC
QCLPSRC instead of QCLSRC
We added QTXTSRC
....
So, we always used QxxxSRC. Always 3 letters. That makes it easier to switch source file name in PDU.
Also, we put all RPG source (III, IV, SQL) in QRPGSRC
We also use a custom change management system and all source files name are configurable.

Objet : Standard source file names?
A friend of mine has gifted me a copy of his home-grown change management tool, but it requires the standard IBM names for source files, and has hard-coded them in all of the tool's programs.
He was shocked when I informed him that I don't use the standard names, and so this tool won't work as is.
I was shocked that he didn't allow for different names since the original intent was to sell this tool on the open market.
So I'm curious - what is your stance on source files? Do you use the standard IBM convention QDDSSRC, QRPGSRC, QRPGLESRC, etc., etc.?
Or custom names?
Single or multiple files for different source types?
Why?
Thanks
