This sounds familiar. Somewhere back in the memory banks, I seem to recall
needing to have one or more subsystems be down in order to release the
locks.

I built something into my weekly backup program to zap those files after the
ENDSBS *ALL statement notified the program that the machine was in a
restricted state.

That was maybe 15 years ago.

This describes what I think needs to happen.... each of the
QDLS/PAYROLL/REPORT.TXT files responds with the same error "file in use"
when we try to delete them via a Windows Mapped drive.

I recall that there was a bug somewhere in the upgrade process that was
resolved when I called Rochester.

As I recall, I was getting errors out of some QDLS files when I tried to
do our backup routines.

They had me run a command to release each file, and then I did an output
file of filenames, and then passed the file name to a program that had
the command they specified.  (As I recall the fix was more than RCLSTG
*DBREF could handle, but I believe we did that too to make sure
everything was AOK.)

Again, that was a long long time ago.

We upgraded from V5R1 to V5R2... we are moving to V5R4 in September.

On V5R1, via a Windows mapped drive to /QDLS/PAYROLL... the user could
delete files, after the upgrade and PTF apply the user receives an error
dialog box "file in use".

I have check permissions on /QDLS, they are *RWX.

I realize that this will be an interim problem until V5R4, but any
suggestions on how to resolve the problem would be appreciated.
