I have routines that build unique spool files by using
job#/username/jobname, but I was wondering if all that was necessary... I
just wanted to build a temporary file, so I could attach it as an e-mail,
and then when my job ended it would clean up the temporary files...  but
your idea works as well, or just deleting the file after I e-mail works
also, It was more of a curiosity than anything else...  Thanks,  tim
