Work with Object Locks (WRKOBJLCK)

Where allowed to run: All environments (*ALL)
Threadsafe: No
Parameters

Error messages

The Work with Object Locks (WRKOBJLCK) command allows you to work with the object lock requests in the system for a specified object. You can work with both held locks and locks waiting to be applied.

Restrictions:

  1. The user must have *EXECUTE authority to the library containing the object and to the ASP device description. Otherwise, the user must have *JOBCTL special authority.
  2. This command does not show record locks for database files.
  3. Work station message queues cannot be allocated, and therefore, they will not have any locks. A work station message queue is associated with a work station device description of the same name. Therefore, to determine why an operation that requires the work station message queue to be allocated does not work, the user should see if there are any locks on the device description of the same name.

Object (OBJ)

Specifies the name and library of the object for which locks are being displayed.

This is a required parameter.

Qualifier1: Object

name
Specify the name of the object.

Qualifier2: Library

*LIBL
All libraries in the thread's library list are searched until a match is found.
*CURLIB
The current library for the thread is used to locate the object. If no library is specified as the current library for the thread, the QGPL library is used.
name
Specify the name of the library where the object is located.

If a file member is specified for a file, and the file's library value is *LIBL, the first occurrence of the file in the thread's library search list is searched for the member. For object types that exist only in library QSYS (for example, *DEVD), QSYS and *LIBL are the only library names that are accepted. When specifying a value other than * for the ASP device (ASPDEV), *LIBL can not be specified.

Top

Object type (OBJTYPE)

Specifies the object type of the object for which locks are being displayed. Specify the predefined value that identifies the object type.

This is a required parameter.

Object-type
Specify the object type. Refer to the Object type (OBJTYPE) parameter of the Work with Objects (WRKOBJ) command for more information.
Top

Member (MBR)

Specifies the member name of a database file. This parameter is valid only when a database file has been specified for the Object (OBJ) parameter.

*NONE
No member locks are displayed, but file level locks are displayed. (The display of member locks for all the members in the file can be requested from the file locks display.)
*FIRST
The first member in the named database file is displayed.
*ALL
Member locks for all the members in the database file are displayed.
name
Specify the name of the database file member for which locks are displayed.
Top

ASP device (ASPDEV)

Specifies the auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device name where the library that contains the object (specified for the Object (OBJ) parameter) is located. If the object's library resides in an ASP that is not part of the library name space associated with the thread, this parameter must be specified to ensure the correct object is used as the target of the operation.

*
The ASPs that are currently part of the thread's library name space will be searched to locate the object. This includes the system ASP (ASP number 1), all configured basic user ASPs (ASP numbers 2-32), and, if the thread has an ASP group, all independent ASPs in the ASP group.
*SYSBAS
The system ASP and all basic user ASPs will be searched to locate the object. No independent ASPs will be searched, even if the thread has an ASP group.
name
The device name of the independent ASP to be searched to locate the object. The independent ASP must have been activated (by varying on the ASP device) and have a status of 'Active' or 'Available'. The system ASP and basic user ASPs will not be searched.
Top

Output (OUTPUT)

Specifies whether the output from the command is displayed at the requesting work station or printed with the job's spooled output.

*
The output is displayed for interactive jobs or printed with the job's spooled output for non-interactive jobs.
*PRINT
The output is printed with the job's spooled output.

Examples

Example 1: Printing Object Lock Information for a File

WRKOBJLCK   OBJ(*LIBL/LOCKEDFILE)  OBJTYPE(*FILE)
            MBR(LOCKEDMBR) OUTPUT(*PRINT)

This command prints the lock information for the member named LOCKEDMBR in the file named LOCKEDFILE. The file is located using the library list.

Example 2: Working With Object Locks for a Library on an Independent ASP

WRKOBJLCK   OBJ(QSYS/LIBNAME) OBJTYPE(*LIB) ASPDEV(PRODXX)

This command allows you to work with the lock information for the library LIBNAME located on the independent auxiliary storage pool (ASP) device PRODXX.
