How can I get a data file unlocked?
I created a RPG routine that creates an account on a financial system. The
routine creates an account number, fine, then passes a data file of name and
address, that's fine, then I call another data file to fill in a contact
page of telephone numbers. The telephone data file never makes it to the
financial system, only the account number and address are created. There is
no errors but, the data file of telephone numbers is locked up. If I run the
routine again I get an error 'unable to open system file'.
        A hint might be, if I go to the data file of telephone numbers and
try and rename it or delete it, there is an error of 'cannot do operation on
file'. Either the file is still open or committed. What is the best way to
clear this up?
I'm working on a test system.
