Naming /copy prototype members.

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Ok, so I decide I want to create prototypes for external programs.  I want
to use /copy.  I thought of having a separate member for each programs
prototype.  If I do this what should the member name be?  Or is this
something better handled by Conditional Compilation?

For example, let's say we have the program XYZ123.  And this program had:
C     *ENTRY        PLIST
C                   PARM                    PHONE            15
C                   PARM                    FAX#             30

Now I change this to:
D XYZ123          PR
D  PhoneNbr                     15A
D  Faxing#                      30A
 * Replaces *ENTRY PLIST
D XYZ123          PI
D  Phone                        15A
D  Fax#                         30A

Now, to make this easier for other developers do I move
D XYZ123          PR
D  PhoneNbr                     15A
D  Faxing#                      30A
to another member, perhaps named XYZ123P, and end up with
/copy mylib/qrpglesrc,xyz123p
 * Replaces *ENTRY PLIST
D XYZ123          PI
D  Phone                        15A
D  Fax#                         30A

Or is it better to leave the PR in XYZ123 and use conditional compilation
to just pull in the prototype?  If so, how?

I try to put the comment * Replaces *ENTRY PLIST, in there for the people
who scan for this.
