I am asking the wrong question because I don't know enough to frame the question correctly.

I have an sql situation which is too complicated for me to grasp all of one piece.  I would like to do half the process into a smaller file, and then complete the process on that smaller file.

What I am thinking is process A which gathers 12 or so fields from 3 very large files and then processes B through G which expand, group and/or orders those fields in various ways, as needed for various web services.

I realize I can create a file in QTEMP and then draw from that, but it occurs to me that I must not be the first to have this problem; maybe I should stop, look, and listen.  SQL has surprised me before and no doubt will again.
