QTEMP

QTEMP is a library created by OS/400 for each job. There is a separate QTEMP for each job, and despite being named the same, do not share information between jobs. This is very different from other libraries on the system. The intent is that every job will have a place to store objects needed temporarily - for the duration of that particular job, and no longer. The job's QTEMP is deleted when the job ends.

This article is a stub. You can help by editing it. Starting place articles introducing beginners to the 400, plus a review of the fundamentals. Libraries which begin with Q are usually IBM-supplied and perform a function for the operating system.

The TAATOOL CHGSYSTXT can be used to print a list of Q libraries, their corresponding LPP, and the LPP's description. It can also update the library descriptions.
