Source File Member Names

The name of each source file member should always be the same as the corresponding compiled object name. Thus, if a program’s name is FRED, the source for the program should be in a member called FRED. This makes it easy to find source and check to ensure the source has a matching object. If the object is a copy of another object, for instance, a work file that is a duplicate of a permanent database file, create a dummy source member with the appropriate name that contains the instructions for creating the duplicate object from the original object.
