Re: QTEMP position in library list

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Top or Bottom, or somewhere inbetween, entirely depends on the standards at
that development location.
If the developers use QTEMP for what it's meant for, temporary objects that
exist only during the lifetime of the job, and a naming convention that
does not step on other objects, then it really does not matter where it is,
pick a standard and go with it, Consistency is the key.

Now for those of you who like to override production or existing objects by
using QTEMP, has that practice ever been audited?  Doubtful, since I highly
doubt it would pass, particularly if you have QTEMP auditing turned off.  I
can think of several circumstances where that would lead to the potential
for real damage by a malevolent developer.

In the end it does not matter where you put it, as long as it's consistent.
