Re: Is there a process that would allow me to take control of an interactive session?

I have a feeling the OP was not looking to fix the code, but rather for a band-aid. I seem to recall that in a former life we had a commercial product that allowed us to look at/control a user's screen, but age had dulled my memory.

If the OP wants to fix the problem, there is an example here: https://github.com/SJLennon/IBM-i-RPG-Free-CLP-Code/tree/master/RcdLckDsp

True enough, Darryl - but that doesn't stop you from writing code anew that does what you want - briefly, read a record without a lock, preserve its value (using a DS for I/O is nice here), show the update screen, after enter pressed, read record again with lock (probably?), compare to saved state, if the same, update it, if not the same, notify user appropriately.
