RE: Standard source file names?

I really don't like having all sources together, with RDI no need to bounce
all over the place...

My preference is one source file for related source. QARSRC (Accounts
Receivable), QAPSRC (Accounts Payable), QBRMDEVSRC (my development source).

I really do like having the DSPF source and the CL source, and the RPG
source all right together, no bouncing around.

A friend of mine has gifted me a copy of his home-grown change management

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?
