Hi Scott,
My case is like this we have a common folder in ifs and it contain one txt file and all our system I user can placing one file to it with contains some txn from pc based software. We are accessing that file from rpg program and writing then to our db2 files in iseries.
Since lot of users doing this what I want is to lock that particular txt file while my rpg program is running.
Hope u got my case. And do u know any solutions for this.
Please note that the txt file is having same name for all users. Users are trained to put txt file by using iseries navigator.

Subject: Re: Ifs file locking
Hello Chamara,
Does any one know how to implement a file locking mechanism when ifs
folders/files access from iseries navigator.
I'm not sure what you're asking. When you say "IFS folders/files" which
file system of the IFS are you referring to?
Are you only accessing the files via navigator (in which case, this
question isn't related to RPG, and belongs elsewhere) or are you
referring to files that you create from RPG, and then make available via
Navigator? If so, how are you going about creating them from RPG.
It would help a lot if you'd explain what problem you're trying to
solve. File locking is just a means of solving a problem, there may be
other (easier/better) ways to solve the same problems... but since we
don't know what the problem is, we can't suggest them.
