RE: Accessing files In QTEMP

["Fabrice CALMELAT" <f.calmelat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Frank,

Well, each job has its own QTEMP library which is created when the job
starts and deleted when the job ends. There are definitely ways to achieve
what you would like to do (see replies from Martin, Chris or Rob) and these
solutions would not necessarily imply the use of QTEMP.

However, I think it would definitely be better to have the creation and the
processing of this file within the same job. Using this scenario, you
wouldn't have to add extra code for the creation of your own temp library or
your own file keyed with JobName/User/JobNumber (for which you would have to
add code to maintain it).

IMHO, this scenario is the one to go for if you want something that is easy
to write and more immportantly to maintain.

Cheers,

Subject: Accessing files In QTEMP


Hi all

I'm sure this is an easy way to do this that I don't know about.  I have an
RPG  program that produces a file in QTEMP.  The job then submits a second
job.  I need to be able to access the files created in the QTEMP library
from the first job.  How can I pass the files with the submitted job?  I
want to use QTEMP because several users can be running this job at the same
time and QTEMP will allow me to have individual copies of the same files
without banging into each other.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
