When you say file, do you mean a stream file in the IFS or a physical
file (ie. DB table).

I am new to the iSeries but not C/C++. I am porting a program that runs
on multiple platforms. This program may have several instances running
concurrently but each program shares on data file. My issue is what
function do I use to lock the file so that other apps can not read/write
this file while it is being locked by another process. On windows I
used CreateFile() and on UNIX I used Flock(). I am looking for
something similar or that will at least produce the same results. I
have attempted modifying the share permissions in the CL but this locks
the file for the entire run of the program and not only when this file
is open.


Thanks,
