Jim,

I completely agree with you. QTEMP is a great place for temporary objects, such as user spaces, temporary files, user indexes, etc. However, you don't need/want to have it in your library list for such purposes. If your code deliberately creates a temporary user space in QTEMP, then it shouldn't be using *LIBL to access it. It should be using QTEMP (explicitly) to access it. At least, that's my opinion.

Please read the whole thread -- I'm repeating what others have already explained very well.

data that I don't want to save, so I think QTEMP is a great space since
it's automatically cleaned up.
