read/chain record format or file name?

When performing a Read or Chain operation, is best practices to reference
the record format name or the file name? Why?

I know what I do. I have seen commercial software do both. I have seen
individual programmers do both.

The reason I pose the question is I am teaching a class in RPG (/free, if
you care) at a community college this semester and prefer to teach best
practices from the start.

Your thoughts?

TIA


Thank you,
- Jim
