RE: Keep File from locking in back or keep it from backup

Dwayne,

Try working with the files in QTEMP. I don't think that that would be locked
by the backup. If not, create a special work library that only has your work
files in it, and exclude it on the OMITLIB parameter of the SAVLIB command.
You should include a way to recreate this work library in case of an
disaster recovery situation.

Subject: Keep File from locking in back or keep it from backup

Hello,

I have a file that I use to monitor our backup. Here are the steps:

1) The backup starts
2) My CL program submits, clear BJBW001F and BJBW002F before I {CPYSPLF
FILE(QPDSPAJB) TOFILE(BJBW001F) SPLNBR(*LAST)} and {CPYF
FROMFILE(BJBW001F) TOFILE(BJBW002F}.

3) The problem I have is the backup locks my two files. Should I take the
clear out and delete the record after I gotten the job information.  I use
this command to capture the backup job number as I monitor it. Or is there
away to stop the backup from backup up these files.
