Re: Can i use QTEMP as HttpSession

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

You just do it - QTEMP is always there for any job - it is separate from 
every other QTEMP connected to other jobs - it stays around until the 
job ends.

So go ahead and store your information and retrieve it as needed - 
nothing unusual about it if you think of it as another library - which 
it is.
