Re: work files in qtemp

[MWalter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Qtemp libraries are individual to a job, so if the job's a batch job, you
don't have to delete the objects you create in Qtemp. As soon as the job
ends, the temporary objects will be destroyed.

Thanks,

Mark

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.
