 You have to choose a logical name that won’t clash with any other use in
any other process in the same job, you have to remember to delete it
afterwards to avoid clutter ...

That is not so hard.
$ vf='f$verify(0)'
$ reslog = "RES_" + f$unique()

$ deas/job 'reslog'
$ if vf then exit f$verify(1)+1
$ exit 1
