Jodi,

I can point you to another example of Scope messages from a tech tip published 
by 
Midrange Computing.  You can find it here:

http://www.midrangecomputing.com/ftp/prog/99/990507.txt 

It sounds like you may be storing information that is not directly related to 
the job 
in qtemp. I suspect that this may not be the only problem that exists, rather 
than 
fight this, why not just use a temporary object in a real library?

There's an interesting little feature of OS400 that will help you, called
Scope messages.

If you send a Scope message, it's like doing a call QCMDEXC that runs when
the job ends (either normally or abnormally). We use it all the time for
batch jobs that must always be active.

You can check it in the manuals or use an example from our 'toolkit' at
http://www.black-and-blue.com 

There is a RUNJOBECMD that will run your command whether the user signs off
or disconnects the session.....
