Hi Justin,

Try renaming the production program, then moving the test program into production. Users who were using the old version will continue to use it. When they get out of the program, the next time they go in they'll be using the new version. Eventually, when everyone is out of the old one, you can save it somewhere or delete it.

Currently, we update production programs by simply compiling from source into the production library. I'd like to move the object from the test library instead. The trouble is, I need an exclusive lock on the production object to accomplish this. We run a 24/6 shop, and I can't wait until Sunday to promote an update. Our current compile method doesn't suffer from this problem (the current object is moved to QRPLOBJ and users are pointed there). Is there some way to replace the production object without the exclusive lock?
