Re: Question on QTEMP and CGI Jobs


We have an interesting scenario where a CGI job is using a data area in
QTEMP for a temp value in a web app and there appears to be a random issue
where that value gets clobbered by another job. (At least that's what we
think is happening.)


I don't see any way a qtemp object could get clobbered by another job. As
others have indicated the request-response cycle is synchronous. But since
a single CGI job can have an unlimited number of programs active in the
same job, it seems theoretically possible that one of them could clobber a
qtemp object due to CPU time slicing. Perhaps unlikely, but I'd still steer
away from using qtemp in CGI jobs.
