RE: Seeking inspiration ...

I didn't see a comment on my zipping the data into the IFS and picking it up
in the other program(s) idea but I haven't been watching this very closely
either so it may have already come and gone.

Would that work for you Jon?

I'm still at a loss as to why you can't use your own LDA or job named
specific LDA...create on in QTEMP for the submitting job, assign it to
a perm/temp LDA on the disk, submit job, retrieve it from disk, and
delete when you're done...

Because - as I've explained - the LDA is being corrupted and although I can
control which parts are used by "my" code I cannot control which parts are
used by other apps and in what combos apps are run.

QTEMP doesn't transfer to a submitted job. Perm data area only caters for a
single user unless I get into uniquely naming them. Can't save off/restore
current LDA because although I know when it needs to be saved I have no
way of knowing when to "bring it back".

I'm basically trying to retrofit a solution to a very poor design while
minimizing the number of programs affected and the changes needed. The
solution of changing the SBMJOB commands (for example) requires changing and
testing over 120 programs. I'd really like to avoid that if possible.
