Re: Object lock

[Tim McCarthy <twmac@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've done this before and the only way I found is to go to MI. You'll need
to be pretty proficient in MI and have an in depth knowledge of OS/400 job
structures and work control block tables (WCBTE's). Of course, IBM could
have provided some sort of API since I last delved into this area.
