Naming conventions - was ->RE: Replacing *entry plist

["Bartell, Aaron L. (TC)" <ALBartell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have thought about the names of my source members and objects a lot in the
past couple of weeks, and being that there is such a huge limitation on the
amount of chars you can use to name something I am wondering why we even use
a suffix when we have the object type to do that for us??

Of course you would have to put your source in different source members like
QDDSSRC, QDSPSRC, QMODSRC, QSRVSRC, QPNLSRC, QRPGLESRC, etc so they wouldn't
collide in the source physical file.

I wonder if that limitation (max of 10 characters for names) is ever going
to get better??

I like ending both physical and printer file names with "P."  I'd add a
smiley, but I've seen it a lot.
