not quite correct. No *NEW* QTEMP is created. The system reuses an old
QTEMP from a pool of 'ready-made' QTEMPS. When the job ends, the QTEMP
is *emptied* of objects, but is not destroyed. It hangs around for later
re-use.
This has some implications for jobs that replace their (or other job's) QTEMP
with permanent libraries while the job runs. Don't try this with QSYS :-)
