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

Take a look at Retrieve Lock Information (QWCRLCKI) API -

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

Or maybe the APIs on object locking may be needed.

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

Anyone have a technique or code for doing this?

Thanks for any help,
