RE: Handling a File Lock

If you use EXTFILE(file_name) on the F-specs (and declare file_name as a
variable initialized to the regular file's name), you could:

Open(e) myfile;
If %error;
File_name = 'OTHERFILE';
Open myfile;
Endif;

Quick and dirty way to do this is:

1) use USROPN on the F spec.
2) In *inzsr, do:
        open(e) YOURFILE
        if              %error     
        ... Override to the alternate file.
        open            YOURFILE
        endif

What is the best way to handle this situation?
I have searched the archives and didn't find a solution to this.

If a chain to a file fails because it is being saved to tape, chain to
an alternate file.
