Ok, two people mentioned tmpnam(), and they're from different companies
therefore it's probably not some custom code internal to that shop.  Based
on that:

1 - What is tmpnam()?  Where is some documentation?

2 - What I am doing is generating a temporary file in the IFS and then
sending it off with SNDEMAIL.  Would tmpnam() be applicable for that?
Keeping in mind that SNDEMAIL isn't necessarily "instantaneous".

Re: Using a UUID to name an IFS file






Hi Rob,

If you must use a UUID as an IFS filename, please convert it to hex or
base64.  Don't try using the binary values as a filename, it'll come
back to bite you, no matter what you start the filename with!

Like Roger, I wonder why you don't just use tmpnam()?  Is there some
reason UUID must be used?
