Finding a locked file.

TAATOOLS has a CVTOBJLCK command, if you have TAATOOLS. This allows you
to write the locks to a db file.

Thanks.

subject: Finding a locked file

We have several processes that spawn during the course of the night from
a
CL called nightjob. If a process needs a file that is locked, the
program
will send a page to whoever is on call so they can determine if the
program that has the lock errored out or if it can be killed.....

This is where we have a problem......a lot of times this lock is at a
file
level, which is not logged in the job log....And by the time the
programmer on call gets up and checks, the lock is gone......

We thought about adding WRKOBJLCK to the CL in order to trap it and thus

write it to the job log......but I wanted to ask the group for any other

ideas on how to figure this out. The problem is, it wakes someone up
and
we are hoping to determine which process has it locked (there are in the

range of 300,000 processes that fire throughout the night) and fix it so

it will stop setting off blackberry.
