Re: Is there a way to replace a open display files

In the past, to meet a similar requirement, we had all programs declare the file in question as being user open. Then there was a system-wide flag that indicated that the file had changed. Each file interaction checked the flag (user space so just memory access) and if it didn't match its internal setting then it closed and re-opened.

At my current job we have a window every night where we can promote
those kinds of changes, and in emergencies we just call everyone and
make them get out. At my previous job, we kept a library above the main
screen/program library. If we had to make a change we placed the
screens/programs in that library. Everyone starting a new job got the
changes. As soon as the production objects where free, we replaced them.
At the next available window, we deleted the objects in the temporary
library. This worked good because for some screens there may have been a
week or more before we got a window. Only bad thing was if for some
reason you had to make two changes.

Subject: Is there a way to replace a open display files

Gents / Ladies,

I have a production environment that runs 24/365 and some displayfiles

a

always open and have this annoying lock.

So moving the display file to QRPLOBJ, delete it or rename it will not

work.

Any ideas?

Is this issue a candidate for an RFE?
