Yea..the program has a lock on it.  The complicated part here is the program
is interactive and responds with a screen to the user if the record does not
meet specific criteria.  For this reason, I have to use a data area and the
program must be called.  By calling this program, it puts the rogram in the
job stream of the interactive user and the window can be displayed.
