Charles,

OK, I admit that you made me crack a book (actually I looked at my COMMON

*SHRRD.

Al,

Can you provide some more detailed info on what you mean by this?

When you say "during the checkpoint" I assume you mean the file was updated
after the save had started but before the checkpoint was reached.

How is this possible?  I was under the impression that SWA locked the
objects with a *SHRNUPD prior to the checkpoint being reached.

Thanks,
