Re: Rhyme nor reason

Have you tried doing a WRKACTJOB on each of these jobs and checked the
major items ?

Such as open files - make sure that each job is getting the same file.
Call stack - is each job running the same program ?
File Overrides
Locks
Job Descriptions
etc.

Have you tried a DSPOBJD in each job on the file ?  
How about DSPDTA ?

Is it possible that you own a file in a library which is excluded (the
library) from the other users so that you access one file and they
access another? 

We have a rule in our shop to use when trouble shooting stuff like this
: 'Assume it's the stupidest thing possible and go from there'
