RE: Tracking source member access

["Reeve Fritchman" <reeve@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to track access for a couple of management reasons.  I have
SEU-bound programmers; an exit program would handle the requirement for
them.  I'm in and out of source members frequently with CODE/400 (although
using CODE/400 over a WAN makes "frequently" a relative term; half the time
it takes longer to load and to save than to make the change).

I'm really looking for a job accounting type option, and now that I type it,
I'm wondering if the job accounting journal is the answer.  I'll hunt down
the .PDF and see.

In our environment, it's not likely someone will have a member open for
eight hours.  But I guess I'd find out!

Reeve,

I can't think of a real good way off the top of my head but one possibility
is to have a job periodically do something like WRKOBJLCK (I assume there is
an api) on your source files and keep track of the members that are locked
and how long.

I curious though, why do you care about this?  It seems that it is totally
meaningless information.  I may open a source member first thing in the
morning, get interrupted and move on to something else, that source member
may stay open all day and I may not even make any changes.  Ok, I had the
source member open for 8 hours, what does that tell you???
