What I have done is to put a program in the LOGIN and USER.EXIT that enters/deletes all information about the user in a 'USER' file. We also have a sort of control file that lists terminals and their attributes, locations, phone extension, where that terminal is etc.. When we get a record lock, we read the USER file (key is USERNO) from that get the TTY number and read the TTY.CONTROL. Then we format a nice user friendly message stating something like 'Customer Record 12345 is being locked by Anthony Dzikiewicz at extension 123'.
Believe it or not, some users will still call me and read the message on the screen because they don't know what to do. Anyway, that's one way to get it done.

How can I map this user number to the user id? e.g. A record "xyz" of "ABC123" file is locked by user id 'appsadm'. Now when anyone tries to obtain the lock on the record "xyz" of "ABC123" file then the STATUS() function returns user number: '1230'. How can I obtain the user id of the user (i.e. appsadm) corresponding to the User number? Or how can I obtain the User id without even obtaining the user number?
