Re: qrpgsrc vs qrpglesrc

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.

Honestly, I could care less if we have one source file or 20, I was more
concerned with problems arising from the implementation. I doubt that the
length of each source file was taken into consideration when the idea of
combining our source files was implemented.....
