Qeditscr
Qedit uses a job-temporary scratch file called Qeditscr whenever you have not provided a workfile for Add or Text, and Random scratch files are not used (see Set Work). This can be useful for preparing production batch jobs from skeleton jobs (Text JOB23), or in any situation where you want to edit a Keep file and Keep it again immediately.
If you decide that you want to save the contents of the current Qeditscr file as a regular, permanent Qedit file, use Shut filename. Once created, Qeditscr remains as an old temporary file until you log off the system with :BYE, even if you leave and re-enter Qedit. Each time Qeditscr is opened or closed, a warning is printed.
Set Work Temp OFF disables the use of Qeditscr on Add or Text. This is a good idea if you’re using a modem line which might end your session unexpectedly. On disconnection, a temporary file evaporates. A permanent file would be saved, even though your last few changes may not have been applied.
If you have Set Work Random On, Qedit will use Qednnnnn in your logon group and account, where nnnnn is a random number.
