The only "lock" I've seen on a library is when you try to delete a library that is in some running job's library list. I'm sure save operations also lock the library object.

In general, though, locking objects in a library do not affect the library itself.

What is it you are attempting to accomplish?

I have a utility that checks if an app is use by doing a WRKOBJLCK

I recently had this fail.
One app addlible XXX.
Opens files in XXX
Execute a process, finish.
Rmvlible XXX.

WRKOBJLCK OBJ(XXX) OBJTYPE(*LIB) shows no locks.
But within the XXX library, there were object locks remaining.

Never realized you could have object locks and the library containing
the objects is no longer is the library list.

Searching for better method to determine object locks since WRKOBJLCK
OBJ(XXX) OBJTYPE(*LIB) is no longer valid.

Thank You
