RE: Viewing files in qtemp while in batch

One thing you can do for tables, data areas and data queues in QTEMP is to
journal them once you've created them.

I'm running a program in batch and debugging it with a service entry

records? I can't seem to see them.

Because one design intention of the QTEMP [temporary] library concept
is that another job can *not* /access/ what is in another job's QTEMP,
the likely best option is to consider in the design of the batch
application, the potential need for whomever doing debug to /see/ the
data in the objects in QTEMP. Resolving such concerns might be able to
be more generally handled instead, with a subsystem routing program.

In the former case, the submission for a test\debug may need to be done
in a specific manner to ensure either that QTEMP is not used or that an
event monitor is established in the batch job [or some other IPC method
is established] that enables the debug requester to ask the job to
reveal the contents of the objects in QTEMP; e.g. STRBCHAPP
TMPLIB(MYTSTLIB) might be the command to start the batch application
whereby the default value for the TMPLIB() parameter is QTEMP.

In the latter case, the test submission must be controlled such that
the batch job(s) for the application under test are properly routed;
i.e. the routing data could be hard-coded or configurable, to force the
batch job(s) of the application, through the routing program that
establishes the IPC method(s) that will enable the debug requester to
ask that the job reveal the contents of the QTEMP library.
