Yeah, there's an API called QP0LROR (Retrieve Object REferences) that will
list the locks on an IFS object.

Carsten Flensburg wrote a sample program that demonstrates this API at the
following link (requires a free "associate' membership to the iSeries
Network):

An interesting way to determine when a new file is added (instead of
checking every 10 seconds) might be to journal an IFS directory.  Use the
RCVJRNE command in a NEP with an exit program that's called each time a
new file is created in the IFS. Have the exit program use QP0LROR to wait
until the file is unlocked, and then process it.

I think Carsten may have done an article on that as well, but I can't find
it...
