RE: Terminated Interactive Job Impacts Nightly Processing

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.

<<SNIP>> You could alter this job to also check each QINTER job's
object locks (Retrieve Job Locks (QWCRJBLK) API). This API provides
the information used in DSPJOB JOB(*) OPTION(*JOBLCK). You would at
least know if there are any files open.

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.
