The batch job was trying CLRPFM, but it failed because the object was
locked. I was using WRKOBJLCK via 5250 to idenify the job(s) holding the
lock, but WRKOBJLCK also failed due to a lock. Normally WRKOBJLCK shows
the lock holder(s) without difficulty.

OBJECT_LOCK_INFO would be the thing to try, but it might use the system
calls under the covers as WRKOBJLCK.

Thanks

I hate when people do this to me so I request your forgiveness in advance
by asking you if there was something in the joblog which confirms that the
error was truly due to the command WRKOBJLCK being locked.
