Re: Locked record

["Steve Landess" <steve_landess@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like this idea, but the implementation could be dangerous...

Do you check to see if job holding the lock is an interactive job, and then
give the user that you're about to kill a message that his job will be ended
unless he releases the lock that he has on the record (maybe SNDUSRMSG)?

Adding to what the distinguished programmer from Mass said(ie Ron H.
Sorry I'v been listening to NPR Radio's congress debate).

Get the Returned Exception data from the SDS (program status DS  here
defined as REXD)  as Ron said,
I have a utility program(UTCL9020)  that ends the job passed to it.  I get
job name like this.


>>   D   PIFA                 SDS
>> D  REXD                   91    170

>> On a record lock you will get something similar to this:

>> ....5...10...15...20...25...30...35...40...45...50...55...60
>>         1   'Record 67412 in use by job 611072/RHARVEY/ISDEPT5B.'
