Progress .Net open client - When to use ProDataSet instead of Temp-Tables?

I'm working on a .Net open client to work with Progress Appserver. I've a set of 5 Input-Output static temp-tables in an order/detail scenario. I've read that a Prodataset can also be used to achieve the same.

Is there a benefit of using a Prodataset over using static temp-tables in this scenario? Where one should use a Prodataset instead of temp tables?

A ProDataSet is a convenient way to organize a group of related temp-tables. You seem to have a group of related temp-tables so you would potentially benefit from dealing with them as a unit rather than individually.

Actually, even if you only have a single TT it is beneficial to wrap it into a PDS - there are lots of features that you get with a PDS like change tracking and error status that you don't get with a plain old TT. Plus you get a standardized interface regardless. And it costs nothing extra to do it.
