temporary - Create temporary file

The procedure or response file is generated temporary at the defined file location. In order to avoid concurrent write attempts, a unique temporary file name will be created. The file will be deleted, when the process, the file is generated by, has been executed.

Setting temporary for header files causes external resource generation generating the content of the header file into the resource to be generated. When not being set, a file reference (include statement) will be generated, instead.

Before writing the procedure or response file to disk, option variables (%...%) will be replaced.

When temporary is set together with no_export, any attempt to access the file fails. An error is written to error log file.
