That hardly qualifies as "easy as pie," and in the situation at hand (i.e., one module telling another whether or not it's already copied a work-file into QTEMP) it amounts to using a bazooka to swat a fly.

And I said IN AN ILE PROGRAM, ACROSS MODULE AND LANGUAGE BOUNDARIES, not across PROGRAM boundaries or across JOB boundaries. Something like a "common block" in Fortran. Or declaring a Java variable as "public static" (or even just "public").

Sorry if I seem a bit irritable.
