Generally how can I find out whether the program is called one or
nt ?

-------------------------------------------------
Not sure I understand your question. Do you mean, if I "call" a program
(either from a command line or another program) how do I know if the program
that "runs" is the actual compiled object I think it is? If so, display the
job (alt sysrequest, option 3, option 11.) This will tell you what processes
are running in the job, and the library the process object is in. I.e., if I
have two programs named PROGRAM, each in a different library, then I CALL
PROGRAM from the command line, the one that runs is the first one found when
the operating system searches sequentially through the job's library list.
Displaying the job will verify which process object is being used.
-------------------------------------------------

If 2 users are working on same program source ,how can I lock and
release the program source ?how do other user come to know whether
the program source is locked or nt for updation?

-------------------------------------------------
Again, your question is unclear. Others have answered assuming you were
talking about concurrent editing of a source member. Or, are you talking
about two people copying the source to their own libraries to make
modifications independently? In that case, you need a change management tool
like Aldon or SoftLanding. I'm not sure, but I think PDM also has a
rudimentary source management component...?
