It sounds as though the server is seeing the disconnects, but the client is
not getting the response back to recognize that it is truly disconnected.

I assume that the SUB.LOCKED.SOH.RO is called to do the lock and then

The problem is that you open the file in this routine to do the locking
against. Once this subroutine ends that file handle will go out of scope
(it was defined local to this subroutine) and the file is closed. That
