Re: CPYF lock?

The CPYF utility has some bit of "optimizer" logic whereby one means

the FromFile, is whether there are any locks on the data; i.e. no
data locks follows one path, any data locks [beyond its own] and
another path is followed.  If no locks, the CPYF escalates its locks
[beyond just *SHRRD] to use a more aggressive approach to effect the
copy data activity.  Similar logic may exist for the TOFILE.?

Is there any way to defeat that logic?

This particular problem I'm working on is REALLY tough ... as it's a mater of timing and I haven't been able to actually reproduce it in the lab.

Thanks!
