Table B-13. Unnamed Scratch Files (Temporary Files)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| USED BY | DESCRIPTION |
| | |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| JOIN | Used to hold the most recent JOIN command, if any. |
| | |
| MULTIFIND | Used to create the compound data set specified in the |
| | JOIN command. As each data set is joined with the |
| | previous ones, the record numbers are held in this file. |
| | In this way the file holds "intermediate" compound data |
| | sets until the final data set is joined, which results in |
| | the final select file - QSCMPSEL. |
| | |
| | 244 files, each 2048 records long |
| | |
| REPORT | Used for the NOREPEAT option. |
