That is correct
However, if an OUT is NOT required, you can use the UNLOCK command

If memory serves...when you do a "*LOCK IN" and do not perform an OUT on
the data area, the lock is in place until the job ends.

Subject: RPG Data Area *LOCK
We have jobs that run all day long - sleep 5 minutes, wake up looking
for something to process, go back to sleep...
In an effort to prevent our newly-mandated 'save while active' strategy
from causing file and data area lock conflicts with these jobs, I
inserted an ALCOBJ *EXCLRD on the relevant file(s) and/or data area(s)
in the CLLE program. If a lock fails, it branches around the RPG call
and sleeps for another 5 minutes. With file locks, things worked as
expected. But with the data areas, when the CL gets the lock the called
RPG then fails saying it can't obtain the lock. When I do a WRKOBJLCK, I
find the only object that has a lock is the very same CL program that
called the RPG. (The RPG does a "*lock in".)
How come the RPG isn't sharing the lock that its own CL caller obtained?
Are data area locks handled differently? Thanks for any help.
