Finding a locked file

[Doug Palme <DPalme@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have several processes that spawn during the course of the night from a 
CL called nightjob.  If a process needs a file that is locked, the program 
will send a page to whoever is on call so they can determine if the 
program that has the lock errored out or if it can be killed.....

This is where we have a problem......a lot of times this lock is at a file 
level, which is not logged in the job log....And by the time the 
programmer on call gets up and checks, the lock is gone......

We thought about adding WRKOBJLCK to the CL in order to trap it and thus 
write it to the job log......but I wanted to ask the group for any other 
ideas on how to figure this out.  The problem is, it wakes someone up and 
we are hoping to determine which process has it locked (there are in the 
range of 300,000 processes that fire throughout the night) and fix it so 
it will stop setting off blackberry.
