Answer / pradeep k(cr)
Temporary file will create after submitting job and it will
delete after completing the job. Means temporary files will
not occupy any space.
This temporary files will create by using &&
(double amperson). Ex:&&TEMP means you are creating
temporary file by name TEMP.
Ex: if you want to sort FILE1 and after that you need to
use that file as input in your COBOL program, that time you
willl use this temporary file as SORTOUT file.
