Hi Bob,

If I recall correctly, in all of my previous jobs all source files were the system names. However where I work now, they are all custom. For the most part, that "custom" means the letters SRC was removed from the file name. We do have a few additional source files for certain systems (invoicing, mediation, etc).

Subject: 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
