Re: OBJ Lock

wrkobjlck should show you.  Sometimes you won't see a 
lock until you press the function key to see member locks.

Subject:        OBJ Lock

Thanks to help from lots of folks on 7078 RPG problem, I got my program 
compiled, so now I am testing it & tinkering a bit.  Its function is to 
populate a new file, so on subsequent tests, the first step is to clear the 
file of records with

CLRPFM FILE(HCIF) MBR(HCIF)

Basically it would not let me allocate this file until I signed off all other 
sessions, none of which were accessing that file, just sharing in the SSA 
group that owns it.

HCIF physical file has a bunch of logicals & is owned by SSA group which I am 
in
*PUBLIC has *CHANGE authority & there are no authorization lists
access is via unqualified *LIBL

I am accustomed to record locks, so I was surprised that none of the options 
on GO CMDLCK said that anything was locking this file, when the program was 
hung on LCKW waiting on a lock with CPF 3156 claiming that some other task, 
that I could not find, had locked it, so I tried to clear it from command 
line & same story that something had locked it.  I was just signed onto a 
bunch of menus.

I tried OVRDBF to the CLRPFM with RCDFMTLCK(*EXCL) & same story
I tried ALCOBJ & now it was CPF1002 

Consistent story ... OS/400 thinks this file is locked but won't tell me or 
the master security officer what it is locked by.

Apparently I only need to lock it to clear it or re-initialize it ... is 
there some command that is the opposite of ALCOBJ that I can run from within 
the CL?

Is there some command to display what jobs have what objects allocated, like 
the stuff on GO CMDLCK does for individual record locks?
