RE: SBMJOB CMD(CLRPFM FILE(my_file))

["DeLong, Eric" <EDeLong@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, that is correct.  When OS400 creates a job (interactive logon, SBMJOB,
TFRJOB, etc), OS400 creates a QTEMP (empty) which is accessible ONLY to that
job.  This space is persistant for the life of the job.  Once the job
terminates, OS400 destroys that jobs QTEMP and any objects that it contains.

In a CL program submitted to batch, If I were to create a duplicate object
of a file in QTEMP, that file can only be used by that job?

Frank,

If your intent is to delete a file in a job's QTEMP library by submitting a
NEW job, then this will never work...... Every job has its own QTEMP
library.  You cannot (easily) access a job's QTEMP from another job.

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

Forgive the stupid question, but you aren't submitting a job to clear a
file in the library QTEMP are you?
