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

I wonder if it would be easier for IBM to simply increase the
10-character limit to say 30-char. It is not very often for developer
to name a program/procedure that is more than 30-char long. I know it
is a bit short sighted. But I really think that the reason for iseries
being so easy to work with is because of the way the library list and
object works.

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.
