RE: Accessing files In QTEMP

You need separate "public" files with unique names or, at least, one public
file with uniquely identified rows for each user.  You could use a
multi-member file or user spaces or uniquely named files.  Then you have to
come up with a way to name the member uniquely - a next number scheme.  Then
you have to communicate the identifying key to the second batch job.

You could run job one.  It could allocate a name, create a member with that
name, write the data into the member, then put the member name on a data
queue message.  Job two could be waiting for messages from the data queue.
When it received one, it could ovrdbf to the correct member name and start
working.

It isn't worth the trouble to figure out how to defeat the QTEMP isolation
strategy in a general purpose way.  That is swimming upstream.

-|Hi all
-|
-|I'm sure this is an easy way to do this that I don't know about.
-|I have an
-|RPG  program that produces a file in QTEMP.  The job then submits a second
-|job.  I need to be able to access the files created in the QTEMP library
-|from the first job.  How can I pass the files with the submitted job?  I
-|want to use QTEMP because several users can be running this job
-|at the same
-|time and QTEMP will allow me to have individual copies of the same files
-|without banging into each other.
-|
-|Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
