Adding/Removing Object Locks

If you have the required authority level, you can add or remove a permanent object lock. You must be a designer (*DSNR) with *ALL rights to the YMDLLIBRFA data area.

You can add or remove a permanent lock from the Object Lock panel.

• If an object is unlocked and you want to lock it, press F8. The message "Permanent lock added" displays.
• If an object is locked and you want to unlock it, press F8. The message "Permanent lock removed" displays.

You may find that an object is locked, although you did not request to lock it. A file or an access path can become locked when a request to generate source (YGENSRC) terminates with the end option *IMMED. This failure is caused by an event such as a subsystem ending.
