Displaying Lock Records

Displays are dated and time stamped, but it should be noted that time-of-day clocks can vary considerably between systems.

To display lock records for the VMT1B0 minidisk that contains the TMC or Audit file, enter the following:

vmtape sdc display vmt1b0

CA VM:Tape responds as follows:

READING SET BY: VMTAPE1

Note: You can set multiple read locks at any time; however, only one write lock at a time is allowed. When you use the DISPLAY parameter with the SDC command, the response may occasionally show more than one write lock outstanding. This is because each system sets its own lock record before it determines if any other locks are set.
