Yes, I did that. At the time I did the query ( as a sysprog I do love the 
power of the FOR userid CMD ....   feature) there was no-one else. That is 
not to say that there was no-one else linked when he logged on. I guess I 
should have got him to log off & on again.

Yes, as I said in my original post, I did that. The locations were 
different so he was not really looking at the same disk. 

At this stage I can only guess and I would put my money on overlapping 
links (somebody linked when he logged on that released it later). Thanks 
anyway to everyone for their thoughts on this.  The only problem is that I 
like to be able to explain things that seem mysterious ;-)
