Re: QTEMP cleanup

No.

What I am agreeing with is that it sounds like people are putting programs
in place without looking at the whole job stream. When this happens, you
are just asking for trouble with possible dupe object names being put into
place.

It is the responsibility of the programmer working on something in that
job stream to make sure that what they are inserting is compatible with
what is already occurring.

When I create a temporary object in QTEMP for a Batch job, I usually do
not clean up. The object is given a unique name, usually some derivative
along the lines of the program name. The cleanup is done when the job
ends.

We have numerous Custom Interactive jobs here, that were written before I
came along, that create temporary work files in QTEMP. These are mainly
for report type programs. We give the User the option of running
interactive or in batch. These objects we delete after the job is
completed. Also, at the beginning of the job, we check to see if the
object exists in QTEMP, and delete it if it does. Because that object
name is for that particular job stream only. There will be no conflicts.



Thanx,

Nick

Re: QTEMP cleanup






So, what you are saying is that you have no responsibility to clean up
objects you created in QTEMP after you are done with them and it is the
sole responsibility of whomever decides to add other programs to that job
stream to decide whether or not to delete your objects based on their
need?
