Re: Do you cleanup QTEMP?

We always do our own cleanup. You never know when you might want to run the job from an interactive session where qtemp is not cleaned up until you sign off.

However, after being burned when running jobs twice or more, I usually write my programs to create the object in QTEMP, then I clear/initialize whatever object I just created. This makes sure I'm starting 'fresh' each time the program runs. A few extra machine cycles, but I don't have to worry about old data showing up.

Subject: Do you cleanup QTEMP?

The methodology where I now work is to do a lot of duplication of workfiles to QTEMP for easy concurrency of jobs across multiple companies.

I am just curious about people's philosophy of cleaning up after thenmselves in QTEMP.

Do you delete QTEMP files and any other objects or just let the system do it when the job ends?

I've always been of the school to cleanup after myself but I'm somewhat rethinking that now and just letting the OS do its thing.

Thanks.
