Assuming that the file you echo to is named, how would you stop two jobs of
the same name designed to create the  file from stepping on the file/data,
and how do you insure that two downstream jobs of the same name don't read
the wrong file/data?

EXAMPLE:

JOBA(1) creates fileA at 5:00am and streams JOBB(1)
JOBA(2) overwrites fileA at 5:02 and streams JOBB(2)

JOBA(1) can't log until 5:05, so it reads filea with JOBA(2) data rather
than JOBA(1) data.
