Re: Using prototypes...

Simon,

If you use SDA to edit your DSPF source members (I don't), I believe it
won't work over a source file with a record length of 112, which is what
you'd need for RPGLE source members. I'm pretty sure it maxes out with a
92-byte record format (80 bytes for the source data).

Personally, I use different source files for different source types, using
the IBM default names (QRPGLESRC, QPLISRC, QDDSSRC etc.) but with separate
source files for copybooks (QRPGLECPY, QPLICPY etc.). To me it's simpler and
more intuitive to follow the IBM standard, but, as they say, horses for
courses.

Why separate these things? What's so different about DDS that it
cannot also go in your primary source file?
