Re: How can i test, from rpg, if a display file is in use?

Off the top of my head...

Maybe ALCOBJ *EXCL and if it fails it is in use. (Don't forget to DLCOBJ
if it succeeds.)

Or maybe the APIs on object locking may be needed.

From pgmA i want to test if pgmB's display file pgmBD is in use.

In my copius notes i've saved throughout the years I cannot find anything
about this.

Nor can i find anything searching rpg400-l or google.

Anyone have a technique or code for doing this?

Thanks for any help,

John
