Parameter name | Value range | STD value |
TEMPFILE | C'#'/'@'/'NO' | C'NO' |
The "temporary files" (TEMPFILE) procedure offers users the option of working with cataloged files and/or job variables which are automatically deleted by the system when /EXIT-JOB or /LOGOFF is specified.
The procedure is very resource-intensive, i.e. it requires a large amount of system address space and CPU capacity. In return it automatically clears away unnecessary work files. Systems support can use this option to specify whether the procedure may be used and how the file and JV names are denoted.
If the option is not set, the “temporary files” procedure is not incorporated in the system (default).
The catalog names for temporary files or JVs are as follows:
S.mmm.nnnn.filename
S.mmm.nnnn.jv-name
mmm is replaced by the “sysid” of the home pubset,
nnnn is replaced by the TSN of the task held by the user of the file.
