RE: Creating a physical AND Logical file

I NEVER said anything about a "program" finishing. I said (a number of
times) "Job". Please read it again with that understanding...

Sorry Dave - I'm not following your response here.
A program run in QINTER does NOT create another job. Its run under you
QINTER job, therefore when the program finishes, your QINTER job has not
finished, therefore any files created in QTEMP are NOT automatically
deleted. They stay there until the user signs off. At least they do at
this shop and the other shops I've worked in.

Right. Correct. Yes. Understood. No change in logic. When the job has 
completed QTEMP is cleared. Interactive or batch, when the job has 
completed QTEMP is cleared. IF you are using QTEMP for non-standard 
purposes, you have to know about it and make sure you have cleaned up 
after yourself, but that rule applies in any and all circumstances...

Dave - if you are signed on and run jobs interactively, your signon 
session is the job. QTEMP assigned to that job is NOT cleared until 
you signoff.
Signing off is when your "job" ends.

Sorry, that doesn't make any sense:  "clear QTEMP once your job has 
completed". QTEMP is automatically cleared once your job has 
completed... ???

I agree.  It also makes good sense to clear QTEMP once your job has 
completed.  One thing that has not been mentioned is that if you run

the job in batch, there is no possibility of the files stepping on 
each other.
