Hi, James,
You do NOT need a *DTAARA -- just issue the ALCOBJ ... *EXCL against the actual *PGM itself ... :-)
Just be sure to have error recovery logic to free the lock when the program ends, in case it ends abnormally ...
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

I used to do as Art first suggested which is to allocate a data area.
The lock will disappear if the job ends - regardless of how.

That's kind of what I was thinking, even before Art suggested it.

Thought there was another possibility I either didn't know about, or had
forgotten about in my old age.
