Checkouts are usually audited ... if audit is active and receivers still
available DSPJRN QAUDJRN should give you more info.
When a stream file is checked out, you need to use CHKIN command to
release the lock.
I have seen some programmers using CHKIN/CHKOUT command to verify the
existence of a stream file... They say this is CHKOBJ for stream files...
this (bad) habits could result in stream files checked out... and locked.

I have a few stream files locked.
Before blindly adding them to an omit list on the nightly backup I'm
trying to determine why they are locked. Only appears to be happening on
this lpar.
This lpar is a HA target lpar. I've tried a few tools like WRKLNK,
DSPIFSLCK and iACS and they all say it is not currently being used but it
is checked out by a coworker. Coworker has no idea why it is checked out
by him. Checked out January 15, 2019 11:22:25. QHST shows several
441615/QUSER/QZSOSIGN requests associated with him at that time. This
lock date/time is over a month past our last IPL. So not a startup issue.
So how does one find a log of the checkout?
Last changed date is about 5 years ago.
Object is currently journaled . . . . : No
These are java jar files.
I'm leaning towards using the unlock option and see what happens.
