Other possibility is creating a module exporting multiple procedures. One
function that builds dynamic data and others that pull that data back.
Encapsulate the processing and bind to your main modules or if used by
multiple program, create as a service program.

Subject: RPGLESQL interim processing file

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.
