Re: Method to determine if a library is in use

[John McKee <jmmckee3@xxxxxxxxx>]

My guess is that command is working correctly.  No locks on the library
itself.  Why would a lock on an object in a library also lock the library?
Or, I am wondering, if there might be a specific type of lock on the
library, such as SHRRD that might be related to an open file in the library.
