RE: Source file names (was Using prototypes...)

For most things source stream files are supported but one essential problem is that long names are not supported for objects.

So I have the source

linked_list_utilities.rpgle

and how should I name the module and the service program object?

Thank you. It appears our system wants Hungarian notation or separate
source files. Another way is to have FOO (command), FOOCPP, FOOPROC1,
FOOPROC2, etc. Unfortunately, the 10-position limit can cause weird names.
Not sure what a good solution may be, other than Steve R.'s suggestion to
expand the 10 position limit.

If IBM would be so kind to provide us with the finishing of IFS Source
support we would not have to deal with the 10 position limit.
IBM added IFS source support long ago, but did not complete the
implementation so for production it is useless. Sigh...
For a month ago I submitted a DCR to ask them for completion of this
feature.
