Re: Data Area Locked

[Michael Gottlieb <gottlm@xxxxxxxxx>]

Are you reading the data area ("IN") with *LOCK at the beginning of the program 
and keeping it open for the duration of the program? That could be the problem. 
If so, do the "IN" only at the exact moment that you need to access and update 
the next number, then "OUT" immediately.

number. Only one user can access the program at any given time. I have defined 
the data area using the D spec, with just DS, no U. I have other programs using 
a data area in the same fashion with no lock errors. Help!
