RE: Keep File from locking in back or keep it from backup

I omitted the file in the save command.  We do not need the file to be saved.  
The file is just used to capture the job information and pass it on to the 
monitoring program.

Could try doing a save while active.  That would allow you to save the open
files.

Hello,

I have a file that I use to monitor our backup. Here are the steps:

1) The backup starts
2) My CL program submits, clear BJBW001F and BJBW002F before I {CPYSPLF
FILE(QPDSPAJB) TOFILE(BJBW001F) SPLNBR(*LAST)} and {CPYF
FROMFILE(BJBW001F) TOFILE(BJBW002F}.

3) The problem I have is the backup locks my two files. Should I take the
clear out and delete the record after I gotten the job information.  I use
this command to capture the backup job number as I monitor it. Or is there
away to stop the backup from backup up these files.
