I use one one source file name QSRCF. Crazy to use all those different
names and have to switch between them.

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?

We use the standard IBM names for several reasons:

1. Many IBM commands already default to using them.
2. Different record lengths for different source types makes sense.
3. Improves organization for us. For example, a typical C open source
project might have header files in directories like config, documentation
in doc, XML in xml, C code in src, etc. So splitting source code up
between several source files on the i seems logical.

if you want to understand why that is, there are many good books on
the design of operating systems. please pass them along to redmond
when you're done reading them :)
