A batch job tried:

ALCOBJ OBJ((xxxxxPF *FILE *SHRNUP *N)) WAIT(0)

It failed with CPF1002.

I ran
WRKOBJLCK OBJ(xxxxxPF) OBJTYPE(*FILE) MBR(*ALL)

It showed only *SHRRD locks.

I tried the same ALCOBJ command from the green screen. It also failed with CPF1002. Tried it several times, same result.

Over an hour later, while attempting to demonstrate the failure to a coworker, my ALCOBJ worked! None of the other *SHRRD locks went away (as far as I can recollect.)

User resubmitted the batch job and it worked as expected.

So it appears that something had a lock on the file that WRKOBJLCK could not show. Any ideas?
