Re: Naming Conventions on Your Programs

Because you cannot have two objects
of type *PGM in the same library
with the same name, even if the
attribute is different.  That is,
you cannot have a MYPROG
that was written in CL and a
MYPROG that was written in
RPG.  Nor can you have multiple
members with the same name
in the same source file, so if
you organize your sources by
application (APSOURCE contains
all the AP source code, etc) you
have to have an naming convention
that will avoid conflict.

If you use QCLSRC, QDDSSRC, QRPGSRC, etc.
then you have my sympathy.  I've had
to deal with that, too and it is no fun in
PDM.  Not to bad with RSE.

Why do you have the YY?  Do all of your PC files have names like
myfiletxt.txt
myfilexls.xls
myfiledoc.doc
No.  They why do some insist on it in a program name?  What happens if

your program is composed of modules of different languages?  Does it
then 
become
MYPGMCLRPGCPP?
