Bob,

I wouldn't count on QTEMP from FTP.  I wrote an exit that stored some 
values in QTEMP.  On about V4R2 it stopped working because QTEMP 
was cleared between requests.  Even internal system objects were cleared 
from QTEMP between requests.  However, the program being called 
still had all of it's static storage intact.

Doug,

Thanks for test it. I just sort of made up that code as I wrote the message.
Glad it will work. Now, is the QTEMP accessible from FTP? If so, is it the
same QTEMP for each FTP command? I hope so!  Right now, we're having
difficulty with the CPYSPLF command. As we do a compile then try to download
the compile listing, we can't because *LAST doesn't work for the CPYSPLF
command when we try to copy the spool file to a database file, then download
it. The compile seems to run in its own job, the CPYSPLF it its own job,
etc.  I'm a little confused on this one.
