Re: Prototypes in Module Source

QMODSRC for a module? That's a little different from what I was expecting. You name your source files based on the output object type instead of the language they're written in... Hmmm... never thought of that.

I know a lot of folks use QDDSSRC for stuff written in DDS, QRPGSRC for RPG, QRPGLESRC for RPGLE, QCLSRC for CL, etc. So it's based on the language the code is written in.

But you say QMODSRC for a module... you can write modules in many languages, ILE RPG, ILE CL, ILE C, ILE COBOL, ILE C++... presumably they all share the same QMODSRC file? Interesting...

I appreciate your comments. Rather than use a single source file for
all I use source files based on the object type being created
(QDDSSRC - *FILE, QMODSRC - *MODULE, etc.). Since the prototypes
aren't objects, I keep them in a separate source file. I could have
kept them in QMODSRC, just chose to do it differently. QCPYSRC also
has members with D-specs for named constants that I copy into
multiple sources, API data structures (SPLA0100, etc.). Just my way
of thinking.
