Re: check for lock on file in IFS

You could try Carsten Flensburg's DSPIFSLCK program. This is an old link, hope it still wroks -- if not, try Google.

I don't see that System i Navigator shows locks ?

So far, this is what I have found as a way to get a list
of locks:
CALL QP0FPTOS PARM(*LSTOBJREF '/ifspath/ifsfile' *FORMAT2)

Apparently, this API returns a spool/print file as output,
but ideally I would like to detect this using the QP0L_SUBTREE
API - is this possible ?.

Or, because this involves a mapped drive, maybe I should look
at this from a Network File System perspective ?
