So you don't like my suggestion.  That is your prerogative.

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.
