Hi Doug QTEMP is a temporary library that is unique to each active job on the system. When you sign-on to the system a QTEMP library is made available for your interactive job. Qny jobs submitted to batch will have their own separate QTEMP libraries as well as their own local data areas. When developing your programs, you usually compile over a file in your development library and then when running the program you can either create the file in QTEMP afresh or copy it there from your library list. Override the file to use the version in QTEMP if necessary and then run your program. As soon as the job finishes, e.g. you sign off an interactive session or a batch job completes, then the QTEMP library assigned to the job is removed from the system. For submitted jobs I don't clear down QTEMP and for interactive jobs I usually code for the file already existing in QTEMP when it is being created. Hope that helps. All the best Jonathan -----Original Message----- From: rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rpg400-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Douglas W. Palme Sent: 17 May 2005 16:42 To: RPG Group 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.
