I am modifying an existing warehouse application that sends shipment data
from our system i server to a wintel server on our network. The wintel
server manages a Voice-Driven picking system and returns pick detail
to our i which then manages customer delivery and invoicing.

The modification is to add an additional, robotic pick system that will
handle our largest warehouse. For this largest warehouse, the modified
application will send shipment data to another wintel server on our network,
which will manage the Robotic pick system and, like the Voice pick system,
return pick detail to our i.

To make maximum use of existing function, I want to use an existing pallet
report program to print reports for pallets handled by the Robotic system.
My background would lead me to create a DDS file in QTEMP using a CRTPF
or DUPOBJ, but I am leaning to embedded SQL.

My question is can anyone offer advice on use of CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ?

I want to:

1. create with replace two temp tables (NOT journaled)

2. load two temp tables with pallet info from pgm a (the modified pgm)

3. pass two temp tables to the existing print pgm

4. repeat as required by user

The users work to dispatching "loads" of product from several concurrent
5250 sessions on our i.

Pgm a (the modified pgm) is called as dispatchers get a batch of "loads" ready
for the warehouse. At this point in time, pgm a is called, which prepares and
transmits data to the appropriate pick system (Voice or Robot)
[now working in test], and loads the two temp tables and calls the existing
print pgm [ my next goal ].

Thanks for any advice!
