You're just not reading the manual properly.  Don't assume the list section is 
the only 
part containing the data you need.

The API is the one you are already using.  You need to check the values in the 
header 
section of the API.  The locks all relate to a single object so there is no 
need to 
repeat the file name in the list.

Quote from the manual:
"   Share.  Whether shared file member locks are associated with the file
   member.

   0           The file is not shared, the file is a physical file, or the
               field is not applicable to object type.
   1           The file is shared.

   Shared file library name.  The name of the library that contains the
   shared file.  This field is blank if not applicable to object type or if
   there is no shared file.  When this field has a value, it applies to all
   entries in the list.

   Shared file name.  The name of one shared file whose members are locked.
   This field is blank if not applicable to object type or if there is no
   shared file.  When this field has a value, it applies to all entries in
   the list. "

I doubt IBM could state it any more obviously than that!  If you are checking 
these 
fields and they are blank when the share flag is set then you should onpen a 
PMR with IBM 
support.
