I uses standard source file names. It allows to have the same display file
name and the same RPG program name.

At least one of the commercial packages I have worked with uses non-standard
source file names. Any CMS he would attempt to sell to customers with source
like that would have to support non-standard names.

Subject: Standard source file names?
A friend of mine has gifted me a copy of his home-grown change management
tool, but it requires the standard IBM names for source files, and has
hard-coded them in all of the tool's programs.
He was shocked when I informed him that I don't use the standard names, and
so this tool won't work as is.
I was shocked that he didn't allow for different names since the original
intent was to sell this tool on the open market.
So I'm curious - what is your stance on source files? Do you use the
standard IBM convention QDDSSRC, QRPGSRC, QRPGLESRC, etc., etc.?
Or custom names?
Single or multiple files for different source types?
Why?
Thanks
