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

My understanding is the 10 character limit is buried deep in the guts of the
system. Think about all the information in the object description, all
objects on the system (such as library lists), command parameters, API call
and return info, etc. It would be a beast to change.

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.
