Re: How to tell if a program is active?

You could avoid save lock-conflicts by lowering the lock-level once you've 
obtained the exclusive lock:

    Pgm      ( &Pgm  &Lib )                                       
                                                                  
    Dcl        &Pgm      *Char     10                             
    Dcl        &Lib      *Char     10                             
                                                                  
    AlcObj     Obj(( &Lib/&Pgm *PGM *EXCL ))          +           
               Wait( 0 )                                          
    MonMsg     CPF1002   *N        Do                             
                                                                  
    SndPgmMsg  MsgId( CPF9898 )                       +           
               MsgF( QCPFMSG )                        +           
               MsgDta( 'Program already running. Please wait ') + 
               MsgType( *ESCAPE )                                 
    GoTo       EndPgm                                             
    EndDo                                                         
                                                                  
    AlcObj     Obj(( &Lib/&Pgm *PGM *SHRRD ))         +    
               Wait( 0 )                                   
    DlcObj     Obj(( &Lib/&Pgm *PGM *EXCL ))               
                                                           
    Call       &Lib/&Pgm                                   
                                                           
    DlcObj     Obj(( &Lib/&Pgm *PGM *SHRRD ))              
                                                           
 EndPgm:                                                   
    EndPgm                                                 

The *SHRRD lock will allow the save to complete but prevent an *EXCL lock from 
being put on the program.
