Re: Standard source file names?

It is amazing the number of "ease of navigation" arguments that are still being used as RDi removes them by allowing you to open any source in any source file with the same number of key strokes, or by grouping them together in a common filter. I know a lot of folks are still on an old release, but how many are using SEU with v7.1 or v7.2? There are a lot of new features which are unavailable to you under SEU, at least if you want SEU to provide even the minimal assistance it has in the past.

One source file, QSRC. In addition to the ease of navigating to source of
different types by keeping it in the same source file, it helps ensure that
object names are not duplicated across different object types.

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?
