To all who are watching this post, I think it needs to be made clear
that when we say "QTEMP only lives for that job" an interactive job - is
one job from the time you sign on till you sign off ! Some people
confuse this with the running of a single program or menu option - it is
not. You interactive job may submit other jobs to a job queue, and they
get their own QTEMP that lives till that job ends. you cannot (without
some MI) copy or see what's in a QTEMP lib that is not your interactive
job (and then you can display or work that library like any other
library. Do be aware of where QTEMP is within your library list. Some
shops it is towards the top, above production libs, other shops it is at
the bottom. I always ovrdbf if using a QTEMP object, and never rely on
where it might be in libl. I also treat QTEMP the same whether
interactive or submitted job (because someone may suddenly take your
normally submitted job & run interactive or visa versa. I delete the
qtemp files in the clp being executed. jim
