I do not do anything like this. I use a single source file, in my case,
QSRCF so for each service program I have

xxNAME - Top Level Binding instruction
xxNAME_B - Bindery
xxNAME_M01 to Mxx Modules.
xxNAME_PR - Prototypes

I have everything in one file. I would like to shoot the guy at IBM who
came up with QRPGSRC, QCLSRC, etc, etc. What a waste of time.

The problem I see with the method is publishing the source code. What
happens if you just want to publish prototypes?

So, I'm on a runaway train now with service programs, taking time off-hours
(I'm a contractor) to learn all of this stuff, and now stumbling onto
conditional compiler directives.

I've always disliked the idea of keeping prototypes in their own source
file, usually QPROTOSRC. So, while I was searching for information on how
to use /DEFINE, /IF DEFINED, etc., I found Jon and Susan's article at
http://ibmsystemsmag.com/ibmi/developer/rpg/iseries-extra--
using-conditional-compiler-directiv/?page=2
and opened up "Code Sample 1" (pasted below), which appears to be an answer
to avoiding QPROTOSRC files. My question: Is anyone actually using this
technique? If anyone has considered using it, but decided not to, can you
explain why?
