RE: Unlocking a file

Rob,

If you're running under commitment control, there are a couple of things you 
can do. The first is set the isolation level to read uncommitted in this 
program. I forget the syntax but you should be able to find it pretty easily. 
The second thing you can do is add "WITH NC" to the end of your select 
statement which basically accomplishes the same thing but just for that 
statement. I think (and therefore may be/am probably wrong) that "with read 
only" is just for cursors.

After executing the following the file is locked.  How do I unlock the 
file, from within the RPG?  Service program.  No suggestions of the 
following please:
- seton LR
- RCLACTGRP
- ENDJOB

     C/EXEC SQL
     C+  Select data into :NameWork from zpal01
     C+    where pkey = 'COMPANY   '
     C/END-EXEC
     C                   If        sqlcod=0
     C                   Return    NameWork
     C                   Else
     C                   Eval      Cmd='SNDPPGMMSG MSGID(CPF9898) '+
     C                                 'MSGDTA(' + apostrophe +
     C                                 'Attempt to access ZPAL01 for ' +
     C                                 'COMPANY record resulted in an ' +
     C                                 'SQL code of ' +
     C                                 %trim(%editc(sqlcod:'Z')) +
     C                                 apostrophe +
     C                                 ') MSGTYPE(*ESCAPE) ' +
     C                                 'MSGF(QCPFMSG)'
     C                   Eval      Status=ExecCmd(Cmd)
     C                   Return    *blanks
     C                   EndIf

Isolation clause?
For read only clause?
