I have always utilized a suffix on CL & DDS as I only use one source
file.  When looking at the source files with PDM (and now RSE), this
alphabetically sorts all like source members together so I don't have to
go jumping around different source files just to work on one process.

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.
