I would probably derive the names based on the data, but Dallas's
suggestion of SysTempName would work. A really simple REXX implementation
would be:

/* rexx */
'clback -ir c:\* -d ' || SysTempFileName('h:\cfull??.dat') || ' -name
Cback -compare'
... etc ...

|| is the concatenation operator. REXX evaluates the expression and passes the result to cmd.exe.
