The Retrieve Record Locks (QDBRRCDL) API lets you generate a list of jobs, threads and lock spaces that are either waiting for or holding locks on one or more records. The Retrieve Record Locks API places the list in the specified receiver variable. Lock information is returned for records in local physical files only and file overrides are not processed.
Note: If the user does not have *EXECUTE authority to the object's library and *EXECUTE authority to the object library's ASP device, the user must have *JOBCTL authority.
The variable that is to receive the list of record locks. The size (in bytes) of this variable is specified in the length of receiver variable parameter.
See Format of receiver information for details on the format of the receiver information.
The number of bytes that are provided in the Receiver variable parameter. At least 16 bytes must be provided. If the size of the receiver variable provided is less than the length of the list that is available, the list will be truncated; this can be determined by examining the first two fields in the receiver variable, the number of record locks returned, and the number of record locks available. If the receiver variable length specified is greater than the actual receiver variable, the results are unpredictable.
The format of the information returned in the receiver variable. The possible format names are:
| RRCD0100 | Job record lock list. See RRCD0100 Format for details. |
| RRCD0200 | Lock holder record lock list. See RRCD0200 Format for details. |
The information that is to be used to identify the record or records for which locks are to be retrieved. See Format of record identification information for details.
If the Format of record identification information parameter is omitted, format RRRC0100 is assumed. See RRRC0100 Format for details.
The name of the member in the specified file that is to be checked for record locks. This value must be blanks if RRRC0200 is specified for the format of record identification information parameter, and in that case the member value must be specified as part of the record identification information parameter. The following special value is allowed:
| *FIRST | The first member of the specified file is used. |
The record number in the specified file and member for which lock information is to returned. This value must be 0 if RRRC0200 is specified for the format of record identification information parameter, and in that case the relative record number value must be specified as part of the record identification information parameter. The following special value is allowed:
| 0 | Record lock information for all records in the member should be returned. |
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error Code Parameter.
The format of the record identification information. The possible format names are:
| RRRC0100 | This format is used to identify the file and library for which locks are to be retrieved. See RRRC0100 Format for details. This is the default if this parameter is omitted. |
| RRRC0200 | This format is used to identify the records for which locks are to be retrieved. See RRRC0200 Format for details. |
Filters used for the lock information that is returned. See Format of lock filters for further information. If this parameter is omitted, the returned lock information is not filtered.
The format of the lock filters used on the returned data. The possible format name is:
| RRFL0100 | Lock filter format. See RRFL0100 Format for details. |
If this parameter is omitted, the returned lock information is not filtered.
The format of the information returned in the receiver variable.
The following information is returned for RRCD0100 format. When this format is used, only job and thread scope locks are returned. Lock space scope locks are not returned. Thread scope locks for all of the job's threads are returned. For detailed descriptions of the fields in the table, see RRCD0100 Format Field Descriptions.
