RE: Accessing files In QTEMP -- RPG400-L

There may be only one program, but there will still be two jobs. 

I have seen programs written this way but in my mind it just complicates
things. What you have are two programs (interactive and batch) in one source
file. I have found it to be easier to maintain as two separate programs. 

This doesn't address the problem though. The files created in the QTEMP
library of the interactive job are not available in the batch job. The LDA
is available but not the files.

        OK, what am I missing here?  I do this all the time and it works
easily.  

        Write a CL that checks if it is interactive or batch.  If it's 
        interactive, put QTEMP at the top of your library list.  CRTDUPOBJ
into 
        QTEMP for all the files you need.  They'll be empty and ready to
use. Have 
        the CL run the interactive program for you.  Finish the interactive
job 
        and  (still in the CL) submit the CL.  Then, put the GOTO for the 
        interactive/batch test (from the beginning of the CL), then put in
all of 
        your batch processes.


        By doing it this way, there's only one job.

        That's exactly how it's running.  I'm currently setting up a file
which 
        will
        contain a unique member id based upon the job and will pass that
member id
        along to the submitted job.  To keep things clean I'll delete the
member
        from the file when the job ends.  I was just hoping that there was a

        cleaner
        way.  Thanks anyhow.

        Is the first part running interactively?  Submitting the main
processing 
        to
        batch?  If yes to both, we share one file for the interactive part
and key
        by job name/user/number.  Pass that as a parms to the batch program
to
        process only those records.  Qtemp cannot be shared between jobs,
easily.

        Good Luck,

        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.
