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. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jonathan M.
