Re: Ending A "Orphaned" Program

[Victor Hunt <xlcfdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

When the nightly process runs at 9 PM there are no other activities going
on. The last person leaves for the day at EXACTLY 5:30 PM. They don't hang
around. Under normal operations there are no uploads or downloads, no ODBC
jobs, no web access. Our code is almost 100% green screen. Our users, who
on average have been here 30 years, like green screen. It works for them.

Thanks for the tip on object lock API's, didn't think about that avenue.
Not sure what you mean by the *MSG statement. Can you elaborate a little?

Thanks.
