Re: work files in qtemp

[fkany@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Some programmers sometimes create work files(crtdupobj) in qtemp because,
when the job ends, the file is deleted.  I use them frequently.  If you
want more information on how I use them, just let me know and I'll be glad
to explain more and/or give  you some examples.

Subject:    work files in qtemp


I have been working on a program that will reuqire me to use some sort of
temporary hold file, a friend suggested that I use a work file in qtemp for
the processing of the data...however, I have never used work files before,
let alone in qtemp.

Should I just create the file in my library and then copy it to the qtemp
directory and then process the data deleting the file once I am done? Any
other suggestions would be appreciated.

Douglas
