ibit####.pdf is the file name given to the components of a compound report. Where #### is an incrementing number from ibit0001 to the total number of components in the compound report. Each component seems to create a ibit####.pdf in the associated app folder. Here's the PARs:
The Problem: These files can be overwritten when the users execute the same compound report with different parameters concurrently. So, their final compound report may consist of some of their ibit####.pdf components and some of another execution of the same report.
The Action which needs to be taken: To Be Determined.
The desired Result: Different / unique names for those components.

Unfortunately: Yes I do have APP HOLD in my fexes. They're needed because I have to have a source file for the Dynamic Distribution List (DDL) in RC. That is build in my main extract procedure. That’s only needed because I need a predefined source file for the DDL list creation. Otherwise, I’d need one fex for each of the 40+ Report Caster Jobs / Tasks in this application.

How about manually allocating your DDL files via APP MAP / FILEDEF while still leaving APP HOLD untouched (pointing to EDATEMP) for the rest? Very simplistic?
Can't you rearrange APP PATH and APP HOLD after the "main extract", so that what was the hold folder is simply part of the path, and app hold points to the agent's work folder?

Thanks Guys... I can do those things suggested. I can even delete those files via DELETEF. But, back to my original question: can they be renamed? Kinda like the eay you can "rename" a HOLD file. That is, if the "AS MYNAME" is not used, then the name is "HOLD" (kinda)...
