Re: Lock on command processing program ignored

any reason why wrapping the command in a CL (or RPG for that matter) is not
an option ? Then you could just lock the program you are calling.

It seems to me that locking a CPP might be dangerous (for some reason I am
getting the impression you are talking about an IBM CPP) as depending on
the command the program could be in use elsewhere which might or might not
cause unpredictable results - it might even be exactly what you want :).

As to why it fails, an error message or some code showing what is happening
might help suggest an answer.
