A temporary file is one that already exists, but that is known
only to the job or session that created it. Some or all of the space
for a temporary file has already been allocated, and its physical
characteristics have already been defined. A file in this domain
is considered a job temporary file; it was created for some specific
purpose by its job or session and may not be needed when the job
or session concludes. Like a new file, it vanishes when its creating
job or session is over.
