CPYF giving locks

[Peter.Sheehan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We had a problem the other night when a program attempted to open a small
file, only 2 records, at the same time as a CPYF was starting in another
parallel job. This caused CPF4128. Its easy to replicate. Create a looping
CLP to copy a small file and create/run a program to open that file  for
update. You can also watch the looping job putting EXCLRD members locks on.
Funnily enough, the problem goes away if the file is changed to re-use
deleted records. Why does the CPYF put EXCLRD member locks on? Why doesn't
it, if REUSEDLT = YES?
