That hardly qualifies as "easy as pie," and in the 
situation at hand (i.e., one module telling another 
whether or not it's already copied a work-file into QTEMP) 
it amounts to using a bazooka to swat a fly.

And I said IN AN ILE PROGRAM, ACROSS MODULE AND LANGUAGE 
BOUNDARIES, not across PROGRAM boundaries or across JOB 
boundaries. Something like a "common block" in Fortran. Or 
declaring a Java variable as "public static" (or even just 
"public").

Sorry if I seem a bit irritable.
