Re: qrpgsrc vs qrpglesrc

I agree with Alan. We used to have 2 source files and it was always a
pain to find source code. Now we have everything in one tidy source
file.

You can have problems if you store an ILE RPG program in QRPGSRC.
QRPGSRC

is only a 92-character file while QRPGLESRC is a 102-character file.

Ummm, what kind of problems? Our shop standards person recently
implemented a change where all rpg and rpgle source were combined into
one
source member QRPGSRC. I wasn't fond of the idea but I didn't think it
would cause any actual issues.....

This is one of my pet peeves. Why do we continue to have to use multiple
source files names?

I use a single source file QSRCF defined at 132 for all source but
continue to battle with other programmers because they have to have
QRPGSRC, QRPGLESRC, QCLSRC, QCLLESRC, QDDSSRC, QSQLSRC, etc, etc, ad
nauseam. The old familiar refrain "That's the way we always did it.".

Using WDSC mitigates this to some degree but why have all these names?
All your source types are together in one file and can be seen together.


Use a single source file and eliminate the problem.
