Hi, Dave:

I see no reason for putting QTEMP at the *bottom* of a library list, as
a general rule, but you pays your money and you takes your choice.

For us, the standard (as far as user profiles or job descriptions go) is
to put QTEMP at the top of the user portion of the list. The exception
is for programmers. In their cases, QTEMP is placed after the profile's
development library. This allows a programmer to place a data object
with modified data in his/her development library and test, without
having to change code that creates and populates the equivalent object
in QTEMP. In other words, situations where the existence of the object
in the "higher"
library is conditional but in QTEMP expected.

Wow! QTEMP is ONLY used by the current job. Objects in that library 
have to be created BY that job for use by that job ONLY. We ALWAYS 
have QTEMP at the top of the user portion of the library list. I don't

know of ANY value for QTEMP that would place it at the end of the 
list... ???  What am I missing here??
