Re: Clearing Physical Files in Use

[Jerry Adams <jerry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Short of blowing their job away, I don't know of any way to "force" a 
user out of a file.  I don't know why your user is in the file nor why 
you're in such a hurry to clear it.

If this is a nightly job, you could add an EXEC(DO) on the MONMSG.  set 
a DLYJOB for whatever seems reasonable. and then re-try the CLRPFM.  Of 
course, if this is a nightly job and the user just left a program 
running, that would throw your CL into a never ending loop.
