Re: Can't delete stuff in QDLS

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Oliver

I'm guessing you are on V5R2. I have also experienced a problem where 
attempts to delete files are refused. The QPWFSRVS-something job generally 
reports that the documents is locked by another user. You can track it back 
to the correct by doing a DSPDLONAM  on the file you are trying to delete 
and then a WRKOBJLCK on the returned OS/400 object in QDOC. Ending this job 
or Netserver will release the lock but nothing else that I have come across 
will.

I logged a software support call with IBM; they have verified that there is 
a bug and informed me that a PTF will be available approx 7th May. Sorry I 
don;t have any numbers handy :)

Regards
Evan Harris
