PROGRESS temporary filenames on AIX contain no process id
On AIX only, the temporary files that are created at PROGRESS startup
have names that do not contain the process id.
This is a function of the way AIX works. PROGRESS makes a system call
to mktemp() and passes it a string value such as "lbiXXXXXX". The
mktemp() function then returns a unique value. Most operating systems
implement this function such that the unique value returned contains
the id number of the process that created the temporary file. This is
not the case with AIX. The AIX temporary file will appear similar to
the following.
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root ts 0 Jul 11 09:07 lbiTRgAc5
-rw-rw-r-- 1 laurief ts 0 Jul 11 09:08 srtTRgHYk
A bug has been entered to make this a release note in future PROGRESS
releases on AIX.
