Just recently ran across this tip:

1. CHGPF FILE(FILE1) WAITRCD(*IMMED)

2. see PSDS in your RPG PGM

D PSDS sds
D CPFMSG 40 46
D MSGTEXT 91 170

KEY chain FILE1 2020
if *IN20 = *ON
LCK_USER = %subst(MSGTEXT:46:%scan('/':MSGTEXT:47)-46) ;
LCK_JOB = %subst(MSGTEXT:%scan('/':MSGTEXT:47)+1:10) ;

HTH
