Re: Object lock

Even easier than the job log - it should be an escape message and should be monitorable - if so, then RCVMSG and get the message data - the object name and type will be there - oh, and DSPOBJLCK does not exist, might it be WRKOBJLCK?

There is also an API - QWCLOBJL - that is probably a simple CALL and can return this information without resorting to reading a spooled file (always a possibly unreliable solution, as it can change from release to release). This API returns a list of object locks into a user space - very workable in CL, albeit much easier in RPGLE and pointers.

What can I put in the CLP to see what's locking the object and avoid coming to work at 2am?

If you know the object,
DSPOBJLCK (lib/obj) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

. You should be able to identify the object by looking in the joblog.





Thank you,
