That's not the case. PORT.STATUS shows you what that PID is currently doing when you run it. Not what it was doing an hour ago for example. Not what it was doing when it set the lock. Just what it's doing now. In Unix/Universe world.
If you are so lucky to know about the lock *right when* it's being set, then you are right. But in my experience that is a very rare occurence. And in this particular example, he already stated that it was a lock left set some time earlier. You can only know the program being run by that PID if that program is in some sort of waiting condition and had been waiting since it set the lock. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Schasny <jscha...@gmail.com> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Thu, Sep 8, 2011 10:30 am Subject: Re: [U2] Lock Status I believe that if the program ended the lock would be released, so by inding the PID via LIST.READU and then determining the program name ssociated with the PID via PORT.STATUS you are identifying the program hich currently holds the lock unless the program ends between the IST.READU and PORT.STATUS. At least in my Unix/Universe world. Wjhonson wrote: This won't work unless the program is halted-waiting. Most likely it's moved on to do a hundred other things since the lock in uestion, but left it hanging because the pid is still living. If the pid dies it would release the lock, but for example, even on non-SB ystems, phantoms which run constantly can leave locks hanging forever. -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Schasny <jscha...@gmail.com> To: U2 Users List <u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org> Sent: Thu, Sep 8, 2011 8:34 am Subject: Re: [U2] Lock Status Kevin, I think that the closest you are going to be able to get is the program n question using LIST.READU to determine the PID and PORT.STATUS to hen find the program. I don't know of any way to dynamically get to the rogram line number from there. You could, of course, just look through he program source and the READUs then make an educated guess from there.

I even went to the GETREADU( .. ) function in BASIC.. nothing there. _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- eff Schasny - Denver, Co, USA schasny at gmail dot com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________ 2-Users mailing list 2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org ttp://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
