Re: ALCOBJ API?

Let me recommend using the MI built-in instruction _LOCK - this is 
directly callable from RPG - there is a C/C++ prototype in the LOCK 
member of the MIH source file in QSYSINC.

The ILE C/C++ for AS400 MI Library Reference has example an exampe, and 
you can probably find others with Google. Maybe especially look up 
Junlei Li - a developer who has put a lot of stuff out there.
