Re: Net.Data locking a file

Rick,

To optimize performance the SQL engine keeps files open as long as it can, even when a cursor is explicitly closed. First thing to do is try to allocate the file from within another job with ALCOBJ OBJ((library/file *FILE *EXCL)) CONFLICT(*RQSRLS). If this succeeds (don't forget to deallocate) the other lock has gone away; it was just the SQL engine. If it doesn't, you will have to delve into the SQL settings of your Net.Data configuration file.

hey all,

Why does a simple SQL select statement lock a file when run from net.data?

I deployed my first production net.data macro - a simple vendor
lookup.  It runs a select statement (joining 3 files) and displays the
results.

After running the macro from a browser, the request processor job
retains the lock on the file.

Why doesn't it release the file when it's finished?   Is there any way
to force it to let go of the file?

Thanks,

Rick
