Re: Anybody know a quick and easy way to generate a unique IFS directory for temporary use?

name the directory by time stamp.

you may have to replace some of the punctiation (- and : ) with
underscores _ but that should work well for you.

I'm faced with a need for a temporary working directory in
the IFS. The last time I needed a temporary IFS object, I
was working in RPG, and simply used the qualified jobname
from the program status data structure. But I'm doing this
one from C, and I don't see any documented way for C (or
anything else other than RPG) to access the PSDS.

Anybody know of a way (i.e., an easier way than calling
QUSRPGMI) to get the even just the job number from outside
of RPG? Or any other easy way to get a unique name for an
IFS object?
