One of the reasons (way back when) was the 8000 member limit on saving of files. I don't know if that still exists. I have seen applications that exceed that. (Working on 2 of them now).

I know this is not directly the subject, but I have always wondered why people has different source files for different source types <<SNIP>>

If "saving of files" means SAVOBJ or SAVLIB, neither has ever had a hard-limit like 8000; I doubt also for SAV. The database supports up to 32766 [and remains functional for most requests, even up to the documented limit of 32767] members in a database file; the database save feature [which implements SAVxxx] included.

There are dozens of reasons that one could justify self-imposed limits on the number of members, mostly performance-related; or perhaps to avoid exceeding some application-imposed limits.
