It's designed to work just like system values, except you create them. There are commands and APIs to work with, add, retrieve, change, display, and delete user values. It also tracks when and who last updated a user value. When you are retrieving a user value you can lock it for a specified time period. This might be used, for example, when you are incrementing a counter. You would retrieve the user value with a lock, increment the counter, then update the user value, which releases the lock. However, if you don't update it within the specified time period, the lock is removed and the user value becomes available. This prevents hung programs from locking everybody out of a user value. -----Original Message----- From: tomh@simas.com [SMTP:tomh@simas.com] Sent: Monday, January 08, 2001 2:36 PM To: MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com Subject: Re: Is anyone using the user value utility I don't receive MC, so nope. What's it do? =================================== Is anyone using the user value utility (WRKUSRVAL) that I created and wrote about in Midrange Computing last year? I'm just curious.
