RE: Help with record lock

Good question. When the job runs it locks the zzuser2 file so no other updates can use it.

A bit confuse here.  Your email subject indicates "...record lock" but email content says you use WRKOBJLCK to determine if lock is released.  WRKOBJLCK determines lock at the Object (file) level.  Record lock is at the file record level.  Are you trying to resolve a record lock or file lock issue?

There are times when you think you know what you are doing and then RPG says no you don't.
I am having trouble in clearing a record lock in the following program. I check for a lock using the WRKOBJLCK command.

C     againgood  tag

C                       exsr          clrscn
C                       exfmt        scrn01
C                       read          zzuser2
C*
C                        write     zzuser
C                        unlock   zzuser2
C                        time      dtime
C                        exfmt    scrn01
C                        end
C                        goto       againgood
C*
C     ENDLR      tag
C                        seton                                        LR

I want the file zzuser2 to be released after the write. When I check the file it shows the file is still locked even after the 'unlock' as processed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
