Re: Accessing files In QTEMP

[Ken.Slaugh@xxxxxxxxxx]

Most likely the QTEMP file handling is, or should be, done with an OVRDBF
command to target the file in QTEMP. Instead, consider creating a
multi-membered file to contain the data.

Create the member 'on the fly' and use the OVRDBF command to target the new
member. A good approach for generating the member name could be something
like 'Axxxxxx', where xxxxxx is the job number of the interactive job. Then
pass the member name to the submitted job and do the OVRDBF command within
the batch job as well to select the records in the 'Axxxxxx' member. After
the data has been processed use the RMVM command to remove the 'Axxxxxx'
member.

Housekeeping.... During off hours or during IPL run the command RMVM
FILE(YOURFILE/YOURLIB) MBR(*ALL)

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.
