RE: Seeking inspiration ...

Create a common shared work library and then use a data area.

If it's job specific, create the data area in QTEMP.

Otherwise break down and create a file :-)

Data area in QTEMP is about as close to *LDA as you get me thinks.

subject: Seeking inspiration ...

I have a series of programs that need to be able to share some basic information.

Solution must have similar characteristics to the LDA in as much as it must be available to any batch job submitted from code running in interactive or web mode,

BUT there are some limitations:

1) Adding additional parameter(s) is not an option

2) Using the LDA is not an option (other software thinks it "owns" it)

3) Does not involve the use of a file if at all possible.

Everything I have thought of so far falls apart somewhere along the path - so I'm hoping someone else here has dealt with a similar issue and can stop me from going round in circles with this one.
