Re: Thanks for the info on *USRQs; now a question about LOCK/UNLOCK

Since a *FILE is a system domain object, you can't manipulate it 
directly with a user state program.  ALCOBJ is probably the easiest way.

What I usually do is create an ILE CL module with all the CL commands I 
want to do and bind it with the C module.  Then call it like a function, 
passing parms to the commands.
