Assuming that QTEMP is ahead of your production library in your library
list, consider creating a duplicate object in QTEMP when ever the
applications does a "start up".
Then you can promote as often as you like.

Morning Bob
We just did the same thing with our order entry This is how we did it The
WORKSTN in you program make user open (USROPN) Create a new field
(stand-alone or whatever) that will contain the id of the DDS In our
instance
D Wrkstnid s 20A inz('DDSNAMEA')
We have 3 Work stations
DDSNAME
DDSNAMEA
DDSNAMEB
In all instances we make changes to DDSNAME.
Then whichever is the value of Wrkstnid (in this instance DDSNAMEA) we
copy DDSNAME to the other one (in this instance DDSNAMEB is the opposite
of
DDSNAMEA) and we change WRKSTNID to DDSNAMEB
Then within the C-specs we have the following command
C eval Clpstatement = 'OVRDSPF FILE(ORD122) -
C TOFILE(*LIBL/' +
C %trim(Wrkstnid) +
C ')'
C eval Errorflag = As400cmd(Clpstatement)
C open ORD122
and obviously a
C if %open(Ord122)
C close Ord122
C endif
C MOVEL '1' *INLR
C RETURN
and within the D-specs
// Execute Command (system) Subprocedure Variables
D As400cmd PR 10I 0 ExtProc('system')
D CmdText * Value Options(*String)
D
D ErrorCPF S 7A Import('_EXCP_MSGID')
D ErrorFlag S 10I 0 Inz(0)
This may seem convoluted, and I've tried to explain it to other people
here, but I know it works.
Whenever we need to make a change to the DDS, we promote everything (NOT
DDSNAMEB in this instance) to PRODUCTION, then inform the users that they
need to sign-off and sign back on again at their earliest convenience to
start using the new version.
If you have any further questions
of if you think I've left something out, please feel free to ask

Is there a way to put a display file into production when users are using
the program and have a lock on it?
