The value of TEMPORARY UNIT NAME is the direct access or disk unit name that is used for the precompiler, compiler, assembler, sort, linkage editor, and utility work files in the tailored jobs and CLISTs.
Be aware that this field was previously used to specify the VOLTDEVT subsystem parameter, which provides the device type that is used by Db2 utilities that dynamically allocate temporary data sets. You now specify the VOLTDEVT parameter in the TEMPORARY DS UNIT NAME field on DSNTIP61: Db2 utilities parameters panel 2 .
