Re: work files in qtemp

The only difference between QTEMP and a regular library are :

    Qtemp is associated with a job, it means that the work file must be make
inside the job that will use it especially if you submit your job.
    Qtemp is destroyed when the job finish.

What i usually do in this case is :

    DLTF workfile (with a monitor)
    DLTOVR wrokfile

    CRTPF, LF ... or CRTDUPOBJ (from your lib to qtemp)
    OVRDBF PGMFILE to Workfile

    Run my PROG     (populate the work file)
    Run PGMB          (use the work file)

    DLTOVR
    DLTF workfile
