Thanks Scott, Bryan, John and Tim
Your hints and thoughts are much appreciated.
So happens current project uses a data area as a 'token' two separate programs
in two separate jobs must be able to lock before processing, and both already use
an API to manage data so the additional code should be a decent fit.
I've never had something this time critical between two jobs, so I'm sweating some . . .

I'll cast another vote for object locks: Not only simple and easy (no APIs needed), but also among the more reliable methods.

Depending on the intended workflow, what is even more reliable is a one-at-a-time job queue. Just submit and forget.
