Before the ",access", add ":temp".  So your listf command would look like
this:

        %listf file1.group1.account1:temp,access

        Subject:        Temp File Question

        Is there a way to look at a temp file that is currently being
created/accessed
        by a batch job?

        Specifically, we have a batch job with logon:  job1,mgr.account1.
        I am logged on as:  ses1,manager.sys.
        The batch job has a temporary input file into a cobol program.  I'd
like to see
        what record of the input file the cobol program is currently
processing on (to
        determine how far along the job is).  If the input file were
permanent, I would
        do the following:
        :MPEX
        %listf file1.group1.account1,access

        What could I do now that the input file has been changed to be a
temporary file?

        Thank you.
