Re: work files in qtemp

To all who are watching this post, I think it needs to be made clear that
when we say "QTEMP only lives for that job"
an interactive job - is one job from the time you sign on till you sign off
!
Some people confuse this with the running of a single program or menu
option -
it is not.
You interactive job may submit other jobs to a job queue, and they get their
own QTEMP that lives till that job ends. you cannot (without some MI) copy
or see what's in a QTEMP lib that is not your interactive job (and then you
can
display or work that library like any other library.
Do be aware of where QTEMP is within your library list. Some shops it is
towards the top, above production libs, other shops it is at the bottom. I
always
ovrdbf if using a QTEMP object, and never rely on where it might be in libl.
I also treat QTEMP the same whether interactive or submitted job (because
someone may suddenly take your normally submitted job & run interactive or
visa versa. I delete the qtemp files in the clp being executed.
