The Qp0wGetJobID idea worked (but it did require the getpid(); either the docs, or my understanding of them, were wrong about being able to just pass a zero).
And the timestamp idea would have been acceptable, given 
that this is a maintenance utility where a time collision 
is more likely to occur in testing than in production.
And with regard to tmpnam() having separate IFSIO and 
NOIFSIO versions, that possibility never occurred to me. I 
don't often use fopen(), as I've become accustomed to 
using UNIX-type I/O for IFS files, record I/O for QSYS 
files, and STDIO only for interactive I/O, or for those 
rare cases when I want to use a source PF for initial 
tests on something that's eventually going to be reading 
from an IFS file.
