Re: DLYJOB in RPG

Look at the following . . . . . . . . :

Also, probably you can look at the message information of the Job that is
"Locking your record" .. that information contains the recod number
.. and I believe there is an interface to inquire who has the record lock
by record number. If the result is empty . there is no lock ..
No need to guess .. for how long you should have your RPG on a delay mode.



I hope this helps

I have a series of batch jobs that if they get a record lock on update will
call a CLP program and pass it how long to do a DLYJOB and then after the
'Delay' my RPG programs will try to retrieve the record again.

My question is, instead of doing this 'DLYJOB' from a CLP can it be done
directly from within RPG? ........ API maybe????
