Hi Larry -

The same holds true here - if I can delete an object in the
QTEMP library of another job, I think you'll agree that the object is most
definitely deleted.

The object is definitely deleted, but you didn't delete it. You sent a delete request to the other job and the other job deleted it. If you could delete it directly, that would another matter.


I could imagine there are much sweeter ways of doing this, and I concede to
you that it is a simple hack and not an elegant API that truly accesses the
QTEMP objects in a way we would consider "real" access. But hey, it's free.
If it's useful to one other programmer then it's worth sharing.

I'm not knocking your method. For those who have the security to be able to use it, it can be extremely useful. As I mentioned previously, it has a major advantage over the break-handling program method in that it does not require the target job to have previously done something to establish a communications link.


I just think it is important to draw a distinction between directly manipulating the QTEMP of another job and indirectly manipulating the QTEMP of another job by having that job do it for you.
