Re: Locking *STMFs in the IFS

For the same reason why you might do an ALCOBJ for some file, data area,
program, or other QSYS.LIB object: so that one job can keep
all other jobs out of that object. In this case, it is a client-server
application, and the idea is to download the object to the client for
modification, lock all other jobs out of the object, then release the lock
when the client either uploads the modified object, abandons the
modification process, or disconnects (and ends its associated server job).
