RE: Terminated Interactive Job Impacts Nightly Processing

["Monnier, Gary" <Gary.Monnier@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes you could use the List Open Files api.  Six of one half dozen of another if all you want to know is if a job is using a file.  If a file is open then it will have some sort of lock on it.

   FWiW: If the intent is to look _only_ for open files, then the List Open Files (QDMLOPNF) API should effect a list similar to the WRKJOB OPTION(*OPNF), providing an alternate and more direct approach. 
Obviously that approach would not be helpful, if the issue is locks vs simply opens.
