RE: work files in qtemp

If you don't have authority you shouldn't be trying to do these things 
anyway.

Thanks for the code Larry, great stuff.

Hi Larry -

These programs could be useful, particularly as they do not require every 
possible target job to create a message queue and assign a break-handling 
program to it, which is another method of doing the same kind of thing.

BUT ... this method means that you have to have authority to use commands 
that generally are going to be *PUBLIC *EXCLUDE.  And to use the STRSRVJOB 

command:

    To use this command, you must be signed on as QPGMR, QSYSOPR,
    QSRV, or QSRVBAS, or have use (*USE) authority to the user
    profile of the job being serviced.

I could run this on our development system but not on our production 
system.

And a traceable event has to occur to trigger the exit program, which the 
break-handling program method does not require.

My other comment ... when you said that you could easily access another 
job's QTEMP, that wasn't really true.  Like the break-handling program 
method, you are getting that job to access its own QTEMP on your behalf, 
which isn't quite the same thing.
