RE: SBMJOB CMD(CLRPFM FILE(my_file))

Frank,

I think what Rob was getting at is that every job has its own QTEMP.
Therefore you *can't* do that. The batch job will only be able to access (or
delete) files in its own QTEMP, not any other job's QTEMP. When the job
ends, the file and everything else in its QTEMP go away.

IIRC, there was a way to use a service job or something to access the QTEMP
of another job, but even that way I'm not sure you could do anything to the
QTEMP except read it.

That was great, Rob. I would never have deduced he was trying to do that.

=========================

Rob,

Actually, that's exactly what I'm doing.  I know it's probably not the
"right" way to do it, but it's a long story as to why I'm doing it.

Thanks,

Frank
