Re: AS/400 Program Call

Could you lock the object before running the program?  A 'transaction'
becomes use command call to allocate (lock) an object, run the program then
use command call to deallocate (unlock) the object.  The allocate command
has a timeout so you could wait for the object to be freed or fail right
away.  If you wait, the lock could still fail then you re-try or put up an
error message.

Subject:  AS/400 Program Call



Hello,
     I have a program, that resides on a server and is called by serveral
clients. Further one thread of this program calls programs on an AS/400
that create a file, do some work, and returns to the java thread. My
problem is this: I need to use the same file for all instances of the
program calls on the AS/400 and I can not have more than 1 client
calling the AS/400 programs at once as the file can not be overwritten
by client 2 while client 1 is running the AS/400 programs. I have
syncronized the method of the thread but do not feel like this is
sufficient. Does anyone have a suggestion. Thanks in advance.
