Al - 

In our case, we use a Seagull 5250 screen scraper product to connect via
Telnet... Each user can have multiple sessions. Connection devices are
defined via AutoConfig because the Seagull product doesn't support device
naming. 

Therefore if a session ends abnormally, the user will most likely reconnect
with a different device name.

I appreciate everyone's input on this subject...

I believe I'm going to use our job scheduling product to schedule a process
that will do:

 RMVM FILE(FILE_LIB/FILE_NAME) MBR(*ALL) 

This job will run on the weekend when the application is quiesced, just
prior to backup.

A sweet and simple way to clean up all these temporary work files with the
least impact on the user.

Comments?
