Re: Where does SEU store Work In Progress

There is a "hidden" part of a job called the *PCS (Process Control Space).
The OS puts job specific system objects into this space in various
"contexts", one of which is QTEMP context (this is explained somewhat in the
CL reference under the DMPSYSOBJ command (thx Tim)).  Its unclear to me what
the differences, if any, there are between the library QTEMP and the context
QTEMP, but the context QTEMP could be a lot more permanent than the library.
Also, in reviewing some of the  MI commands,  I found one called ENSOBJ,
which protects an MI object against volatile storage loss.  Sounds similar
to a configuring a file with force write ratio 1:1.  Something along these
lines is needed as the 400 may not have time for things such as MOVOBJ when
it's goin' down hard.
