RE: Module source naming schemes

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <bvstone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For module source, I call them F.xxxx (F=Function?  I don't remember)
For prototype source I call them P.xxxx (p = Prototype)
For binder language, same as the module (F.xxxx) but in QSRVSRC with the
P.xxxx

This lets me easily subset all modules/service programs.  

As for subprocedure names, I start them all with # (Ya ya, don't start on
the multilanguage thing).  I do this so I know where the calls are in my
programs.  Sort of like me using $ to start every subroutine.  Hey, IBM uses
% for BIFs, and @ were already take for pointers, so what else?

After the # I name it whatever I feel like.  So if I have F.DATE which
contains date functions, I may have:

#ValidDate
#DayofWeek
#NameofDay
#NameofMonth
#AddWorkDur (Add working days duration, my favorite <bg>)
