DTAARA Lock Issue?

We had two jobs submitted for the same process - different companies.

Each (RPGLE) does an IN *LOCK of a data area for a unique identifier. Increment and then OUT for the next use.

From the joblogs, programs were initiated .06 seconds apart (6/100th's). Both got the same unique ID. I can't see how this could happen. Default wait time (job) should be 30 seconds, I believe.

There is no error indicator on the IN. If the LOCK failed and no indicator specified, would the fail just be ignored?

Thanks.
